The future work of our graduates is not easy so they have to learn hard to be ready for that work and study many different subjects which are important for it: Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure. Civil Law. Labour Law International Law. Criminology and others.

Special subjects are not the only subjects of the curriculum. The students learn some humane, theoretical, optional and additional subjects, such as History of Russia.

Foreign Languages and others These subjects form the students' world outlook and improve the quality of their general education.

Our students are to take tests and exams on each subject included into the curriculum. As the academic year is divided into two semesters, terminal tests and exams are held in January and in June. And then, when all the tests and exams are passed successfully, the students have vacations, two weeks in winter and two months in Slimmer At the end cf the whole course of studies the students take

degree examinations, finals, as they are often called. Those graduates who have inclination for research may enter the post-graduate course and devote their life to science.

The timetable of lectures, tutorials and seminars is regulated by a study schedule. It provides the students with lecture halis and tutorial rooms on time. The students must attend seminars and not miss lectures.

One of the main principles of the Russian educational system is to unite theory and practice. So, during the course of studies our students have practical training (do practical work) at law enforcement organs.

Much attention is paid to the studying of Foreign Languages: English, German or French. Our students have classes in Foreign Languages twice a week, the attendance of which is obligatory.

EGIONAL SCIENTIFIC CENTRE OF HIGHER EDUCATION

I. Read Text 3 and answer the questions given after the text. " T E X T S

The fundamental task the government faces today is the modernization of the entire educational system, it is not only to provide more and better higher schools, but also to reexamine the content of the education and to bring it into line with modern requirements.

In connection with the task put before higher education the curricula must be based on the modern methods and forms of teaching.

Highly-qualified teaching staff of our Academy, experience accumulated throughout the years, scientific work of our scholars made it possible for the Academy to become the regional scientific centre of higher law education. It is also the regional centre of methods of teaching the legal sciences. Many kandidats of law and doctors of law were trained for working at higher schools of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East.

The three main subjects of the research carried out at the Academy are as follows:

1.methodological problems of science and practice;

2.the problem of forming a civil rule-of-law state;

3.the problem of comparative jurisprudence.

The most important and urgent directions of the research work are: improving the interaction of legislative, executive and judicial

and many others,

The students of the Academy also take part in the research work, because education and science are inseparable. Researches

enrich the study process. To take part >n some research our students join the Students’ Learned Society. The researches carried

out by the students in the SLS are not easy, but very important for their future work. A lot of books and articles are to be read, a lot of ideas are to be thought over, a lot of time is to be spent in libraries and reading halls before you solve any scientific problem All-Russian contests and olympiads are regularly held at the Academy. The publishing house of the Academy is the centre of the publishing activities for the Urals higher schools.

The Academy has a few agreements on cooperation with a number of higher schools abroad (USA. Italy, Germany, Hungary and others). Our lecturers take part in different programmes financed by IREX, Senator Fulbright Foundation, Edmund S. Muskie Foundation, US State Information Agency and others. Foreign visiting professors come to our Academy and deliver lectures in different branches of law
