The Interfaculty Group is a unique program implemented by PetrSU that achieves unrivaled results.

The project has taken the third place in Russia in the category “Science and Innovations” in the framework of the “Best Projects on Promotion Student Organization Activities” and have become one of the five projects in Russia that had been supported by the Vladimir Potanin Foundation.

Graduates of the IG are the pride of the university, and the whole Karelia as well. Upon the completion of the studies the students take executive posts at various large enterprises of the Republic of Karelia and beyond, become authors and participants of the many successful projects of the Program for Development of Student Organizations.

The beginning of the studies of the group, considering the high results it’s supposed to achieve, has to be equally ambitious. Traditionally the opening is hosted by the mentors of the project PetrSU Rector Anatoly Voronin and the Head of the Republic of Karelia Aleksandr Khudilainen.

Anatoly Voronin, the Rector of PetrSU, was the first to meet the students. He got personally acquainted with each participant, who stated their names and specialties, while the Rector in his turn promised to memorize all of them:

“I congratulate you on the beginning of your studies at the Interfaculty Group. Here are the students of the first courses, as well as Master Degree students. We would like you to become a team and develop your personality. You should learn how to play different roles in a team, from the leader to a performer. All these are valuable skills that will surely come in hand in the future”.

In his address the Rector told of the achievements of the university as the result of activities and high level of training of both the faculty of the university and its students. Anatoly Voronin also shared the plans for developing the university, transformation of structure, establishment of innovation parks and development of foreign relations.

“I would like you to understand that today and tomorrow we are rightful participants of the university life. We always welcome your suggestions. Furthermore, we are expecting them from you, as it is the student who is the main person at the university!”

This year the program is slightly different, as it is socially oriented. The students will have to fulfill tasks on personal, university and republic level. First and foremost the participants of the Interfaculty group will learn how to manage their talents and achieve goals. So it was decided to reform the group that now will study project management.

New form stipulates intensive studies. If prior to that the program consisted of two years of studies, now it lasts just one year.

Besides that, due to the large number of those willing to take part in the program, a new form of distance interactive course was introduced. This course admitted 25 students.

The intramural course has 55 students. Lined for them are educational lectures, field classes, visits to innovation enterprises, brain storms, business games, “success histories” of outstanding people and discussions. The most active students will be able to take part in large local and international projects.

The program is designed for promoting self-improvement, team work, and search for external and internal resources in order to implement ideas to life. All the activities of the students will take unusual forms aimed at developing their abilities.Галерея #4925
