My Institute

Kryvyi Rih Pedagogical institute was established in 1930 as a higher educational institution for training of teachers in mathematics, physics, history, political economy, the Ukrainian and Russian languages and literature. Now the institute is part of Kryvyi Rih National University, which is one of the largest universities in the country for full-time students and it has hundreds of part-time students.

The institute itself consists of nine departments: Physics and Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry, Industry and Pedagogics, Geography and tourism, History, Fine Art and Design, Music and Choreography, Primary schooling, Philology and Foreign Languages departments. It also comprises Nikopol and Zhovti Vody Teacher’s Training colleges which have been incorporated into the institute since 1997.

The members of the academic community at the institute are well-known, not only in this country, but also abroad for their academic activity and their valuable contributions to government and departmental committees. They often act as members of professional bodies at both national and international levels.

The institute occupies five buildings with many lecture halls, classrooms, laboratories and workshops, computer centres with well-equipped computer classes. There are several libraries and reading halls where our students usually prepare their homework and read up for their classes and examinations. The students of the institute are provided with hostels, sports and recreation facilities. They have free access to medical assistance.

Students are admitted to the institute on the basis of their results on an independent testing or sometimes after the entrance examinations. Those who failed their exams can be admitted after paying necessary fees. Training is based on scientific principles: lectures and theory are combined with practical classes in every subject. Senior students major in those subjects which are essential for their future activity. During their academic years students study the main social, economical, educational and basic subjects, such as history, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, descriptive geometry, technical drawing, methods of teaching, pedagogics, psychology, philosophy, and one of the foreign languages. During their senior year students pay more attention to studying the subjects closely connected with their future specialities and teacher’s activities.

Students do not only study, they take an active part in doing research in different students’ scientific societies; they participate in the social life of the institute; they go in for various kinds of sports and take part in amateur art activities. The fourth year of studying is devoted to practical training and to the work on the graduation thesis. After successfully presenting their graduation thesis and sitting for the state examinations, students receive diplomas which qualify them to work in the field they have been trained for/ They are awarded with Bachelor’s Degree. Further study or research is required for their first post-graduate Master’s Degree.
