The University of Oxford

A.

Oxford is a unique and historic institution. It is the oldest English-speaking university in the world, which lays claim to eight centuries of continuous existence.

Oxford University’s long history and elevated status are reflected in the ancient and beautiful buildings that dominate the city. Many of these are owned by colleges, which, though independent, form a core element of the University.

The Colleges

The first colleges began as medieval halls of residence for students under the supervision of a Master. The first three colleges – University, Merton and Balliol – were formed in the late thirteenth century.

Today, 39 independent, self-governing colleges are related to the University in a type of federal system, not unlike the United States. Each is governed by a Head of House and a number of Fellows, who are academics specializing in a wide variety of disciplines, most of whom also hold University posts. There are also six Permanent Private Halls, which were founded by different Christian denominations1 and still retain a religious character. The halls have similar powers and duties as colleges. Thirty colleges and all six halls admit students for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Seven other colleges are for graduates only; one, All Souls, has Fellows only, and one, Kellogg College, specializes in part-time and continuing education.

Colleges receive fees for educating students, board and lodging charges and income from endowments. Through a College Contributions Fund better endowed colleges contribute to the needs of poorer colleges.

No student can become a member of the University without being admitted by a college or hall. Colleges and halls select their own students, provide accommodation, meals, common rooms, libraries, sports and social facilities and pastoral care. They provide teaching through the tutorial system, which plays an essential role in all Oxford courses.

The University

The University, in the narrower sense of the central institution, provides the curricular framework within which college teaching takes place, as well as a wide range of resources for teaching and learning in the form of libraries, laboratories, museums, computing facilities and so on. The University determines the content of the courses, sets examinations, and awards degrees. Almost all members of the University are also members of colleges, and all members of colleges are members also of the University.

Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE)

Why Study PPE?

PPE brings together some of the most important approaches to understanding the social and human world around us, developing skills useful for a whole range of future careers and activities.

Studying Philosophy, you will develop analytical rigour2 and the ability to criticize and reason logically, and be able to apply these skills to many contemporary and historical schools of philosophical thought, and to questions concerning how we acquire knowledge or how we make ethical recommendations.

The study of Politics will acquaint you with the institutions that make crucial decisions which govern our lives as members of nations, states and other political groupings. You will also learn how to evaluate the choices which political systems must regularly make, and about the processes that maintain or change those systems. The study of Politics also includes opportunities to take courses and optional papers in Sociology and International Politics.

An appreciation of Economics and the general workings of the economy has become increasingly necessary to make sense of governmental policy-making, the conduct of businesses and the enormous changes in economic systems which are occurring throughout the world at the current time. Economics focuses both (on) individual units and on the aggregate behaviour of groups, societies and international markets.

C.

PPE at Oxford

All three branches of PPE at Oxford have an international reputation, supported by more than 200 teachers and scholars of the highest calibre; you will also be able to attend lectures given by the many distinguished visitors to Oxford each year. PPE is

1denomination — вероисповедание

2rigour — точность

335

a most popular subject with students – more than 900 undergraduates at any time – from all corners of the globe. It offers excellent library facilities in the PPE reading room of the Bodleian Library, the Philosophy Library, and the Social Studies Faculty Centre; your college library will also have sections covering PPE.

The Course

In your first year you will study all three branches of PPE equally, in the form of introductory courses, to equip you with the basic tools of each discipline, and enable you to develop your own interests and preferences for further study. For Philosophy you will be required to study at least two of the following: general philosophy; moral philosophy; elementary formal logic. Politics includes the study of the current political institutions of Britain, the United States, France and Germany, in light of their recent history. You are also free to study selected political theories and theorists, as well as non-democratic movements. You can exercise some choice among these topics. Economics covers microeconomics, the functioning of the market economy, and macroeconomics dealing with national output and employment, exchange rates, and policy issues. The course also includes the mathematical techniques used in economics, along with elementary statistics.

In your second and third years you can continue with all three branches, or concentrate on any two. Even then you have the option of focusing mainly on one branch – your tutors will be happy to advise you. The core subjects are compulsory; to those you add optional subjects. In Philosophy, core subjects are: (i) either history of philosophy from Descartes to Kant, or knowledge and reality; (ii) ethics.

In Politics, your core subjects are any two out of the following: (iii) comparative government; (iv) British politics and government in the 20th century; (v) theory of politics; (vi) international relations; (vii) political sociology. In Economics, core subjects, both of which cover theory and applied work (with special reference to the UK), are: (viii) macroeconomics; (ix) microeconomics. Your optional subjects can be drawn from a very wide range, covering most aspects of philosophy, politics, sociology, international relations and economics. However, the number of core and optional papers you take must total eight. This means that if you continue with all three branches you will take the six core subjects these branches require, and any two optional subjects; whereas if you continue with any two branches, you will take the four core subjects, which the two branches require, and four optional subjects in the two branches. Up to three of those further options may be in one branch of the School, enabling you to develop a specialization.

Students who specialize in Politics and Economics may also take one optional Philosophy paper.

Although there is no reference to sociology in the title of the School, you may specialize in sociology by choosing from the relevant core and optional papers. International relations, though linked closely to politics, is also acknowledged as a separate specialization and up to three papers may be taken in this area.

D.

Entry Requirements

You may apply for PPE having done any combination of subjects at school; it is not necessary to have studied philosophy, politics or economics. History and mathematics are a useful background, but are not essential and if you require it, instruction in mathematics and statistics is provided. Your interviewers will usually seek evidence of your interest in social and political concerns and your ability to discuss them critically. Graduates of another university may usually skip the first year and complete the course in two years.

Careers

PPE offers a good preparation for a wide variety of careers, many linked to subjects studied at Oxford. The careers most commonly chosen are in banking and finance, politics, journalism and broadcasting, law, industry, teaching, social work, accountancy, business management, advertising, and the many branches of the public service, including the civil and diplomatic services and local government.

TEXT 2.

George Washington University

A.

George Washington was determined to have a great national university in the nation’s capital. His hope was that students from all parts of the country would gain a first-hand knowledge of the practice as well as the theory of republican government while being instructed in the arts and sciences.

Columbian College, as it was originally named, took up residence on College Hill, a 46-acre tract between the present 14th and 15th Streets extending from Florida Avenue to Columbia Road. The name of the institution was changed in 1873 to Columbian University and in 1904 to The George Washington University.

Currently, the University’s enrollments total more than 20,000, of which over 8,000 are undergraduate students, over 10,000 are graduate and professional students, and about 1,600 are nondegree students. The students come from all 50 states and 139 different countries.

The George Washington University, centered in the national and international crossroads of Washington, D.C., commits itself to excellence in the creation, dissemination, and application of knowledge.

The George Washington University is a member of the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Ten universities in the Washington area – American University, Catholic University of America, Gallaudet University, George Mason University, George Washington University, Georgetown University, Howard University, Marymount University, the University of the District of Columbia, and the University of Maryland – are associated in a Consortium through which they coordinate the use of their respective facilities. Students in approved programs leading to degrees in any one of these institutions have the opportunity to select from the combined offerings the particular courses that best meet their needs.

The George Washington University includes eight academic units, as follows:

Columbian School of Arts and Sciences

336

The School of Medicine and Health Sciences

The Law School

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

The Graduate School of Education and Human Development

The School of Business and Public Management

The Elliot School of International Affairs

The School of Public Health and Health Services

B.

Elliot School of International Affairs

The Elliott School of International Affairs offers graduate and undergraduate programs to prepare individuals for an increasingly international and multinational environment. Living in Washington, D.C., an international policy-making center, is an education in itself for a student of international affairs. At the Elliott School of International Affairs, you can advance that education even further and be part of history in the making.

At the Elliott School, you will learn from a model faculty – people who are involved on a daily basis with domestic and international affairs. The foundation of the School’s reputation is its faculty, which includes presidential advisors, senior diplomats, and prominent scholars who are a major influence on international policies and the political process.

As you pursue one of four programs of study, you will benefit from a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. Indepth courses focus on a variety of cultural, scientific, historical, economic, and political contexts – emphasizing both domestic and foreign government policy and drawing heavily on the various academic departments of the University. Numerous opportunities to study abroad offer practical and exciting options. Internships and part-time jobs in international organizations offer enriching and valuable exposure to the world of international politics. Workshops, short-term courses, and intensive summer programs provide the opportunity for individuals to be informed of innovation in their fields.

The Elliot School offers undergraduate programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the fields of international affairs, Asian studies, Latin American studies, and Middle Eastern studies. These programs provide a broad liberal education that focuses on a solid understanding of major historical and contemporary issues in international affairs.

The Elliot School offers graduate programs leading to the degree of Master of Arts in the fields of international affairs, East Asian studies, European studies, international development studies, international trade and investment policy, Latin American studies, Russian and East European studies, security policy studies, and science, technology, and public policy. These programs offer a framework that prepares students for professional positions in a broad range of international careers in private, public and non-profit sectors.

C.

The Degree of Bachelor of Arts

During the first four semesters (2 years) all Elliot School students should fulfill their general curriculum requirements. Most of the courses included in the general curriculum requirements are freshman-level offerings. These are the courses in the following six categories of subjects:

1.2 courses

337

(6 credit hours)	tion
6. 14–16 credit hours	A modern foreign language
	(through a second-year level of proficiency)

Explanation: Credit hour is an hour equivalent of a course. Credit hours or credits are given for a satisfactory completion of a course. Most of the courses give 3 credit hours each semester. The normal academic work load for a full-time student is 15 credit hours, which means that a student must take 5 courses to earn 15 credit hours during one semester, and 10 courses to earn 30 credit hours during one year. The majority of the courses offered in the Elliot School are planned for one semester. However, there are also course sequences which are designed for an academic year or a longer period of time.

Generally, a freshman becomes a sophomore upon completion of 30 credit hours, a junior upon completion of 60 credit hours and a senior upon completion of 90 credit hours. In order to graduate, a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts must have 120 credit hours of passing grades.

Near the end of their sophomore year students usually declare their major and submit a Declaration of Major form. In the Elliot School of International Affairs, programs for majors in international affairs, Asian studies, Latin American studies, and Middle Eastern studies differ in their requirements. The courses offered for specific majors examine a wide variety of issues related to international economics, world history, politics and religions, international relations, political science, regional and comparative studies. In addition, all B.A. candidates must demonstrate a third-year-level proficiency in a modern foreign language.

The table below illustrates the difference in the curricula for students with a major in different fields. Economics, History and Political Science are some of the courses taken by juniors and seniors.

The School offers students the opportunity to graduate with a double major if a student completes the requirements of two major fields in the Elliot School (for example, international affairs and Asian Studies) or combine a major field in

338

the Elliot School with a second major field offered by the Columbian School of Arts and Sciences. A student can take a secondary field of study, such as business, economics or languages, in other schools of the University.

The George Washington University publishes Bulletins providing comprehensive information on Undergraduate, Graduate Programs, particular Schools of the University, etc.

The description of the courses given in this article is based on the information from the Bulletins “Undergraduate Programs 2000–2001” and “Graduate Programs 2000–2001”.

The University of York

A.

Founded during the period of university expansion in the early 1960s, York has established a national and international reputation for the quality of its courses and its research and can reliably be found to the top ten of most measurements of quality. York has about 8,400 students, 5,200 of them full-time undergraduates. There are over 30 departments at York covering a range of subjects in the Arts, Social Sciences and Science and Technology: roughly half of York’s students study in Science and Technology and half in Arts and Social Sciences.

The main campus is at Heslington, on the edge of the City. Here the Colleges, each a mix of academic offices, student accommodation and social facilities, are grouped around a large lake in 200 acres of landscaped parkland. Every student becomes a member of one of the Colleges, which, together with some residences and houses close to the University campus, provide accommodation for about 60% of all our undergraduates. The campus is quiet and generally traffic free, is easy and quick to move around, and there are fast and frequent bus services to the city and a good and improving network of cycle paths.

York is distinctive for several reasons. Overall, it combines the advantages of a university large enough to provide a vibrant social and cultural environment with those of a smaller community able to be welcoming and friendly to its students. The College system breaks the University into smaller units making it easier to meet people and make friends. The campus and nearby village of Heslington provide a welcoming community atmosphere complemented by the proximity and obvious attractions of the City.

The overall strength of the University and its track record in research, and the attractions of the City of York, together offer a strong incentive to choose York – one of Britain’s most successful universities.

B.

Politics at York

Politics as a university subject is not aimed mainly at those who want to be politicians. It deals with facts and issues which are crucial to the lives of all of us. To be effective in today’s world we need to know something about how governments work and how power and influence are distributed, as well as about the ideas and theories behind these processes. But “polities” is also a social science, which along with other academic disciplines can provide knowledge and insights about essential features of human life such as power, justice, social structures, economic development, war and peace. Furthermore, it can help to prepare you for careers in many areas, including public service, the media, various professions, business and finance, both within Britain and internationally.

At York we provide a wide range of courses and much freedom of choice. We have four major areas of specialisation. First, we offer a comparative and international perspective on our modern world order. Secondly, we examine the main areas of tension, change and development in the Third World.

Political theory is the third speciality, from the Ancient Greeks to the current conflicts of “new Right” and “new Left”. Finally, we provide both an introduction to British government and the opportunity to explore in detail such topics as parliament and policy-making.

C.

Prospects after your degree

In recent years our graduates have found that a degree in Politics provides a useful starting point for careers in a very wide range of employment areas. Whilst relatively few graduates will use their subject directly (though the York Politics Department can claim some leading political figures among its alumni), the skills developed through the course can be utilised across such diverse employment fields as industrial management, public administration, the media and finance. The crucial skills are those of analysing data, absorbing information, debating issues, supporting an argument and presenting opinions and conclusions, whether in written work, individually, or as part of a team in tutorials and seminars.

Politics students who involve themselves in university life as a whole and who seek useful vacation work experience in addition to obtaining good academic results will start to identify where their personal strengths and weaknesses lie and discover the direction in which they would like their talents to develop on graduation. They will also be able to present themselves to future employers as the well-rounded, experienced, articulate and numerate candidates who are so keenly sought after by employers of graduates.

ФАКУЛЬТЕТ ПОЛИТОЛОГИИ

Факультет Политологии создан в МГИМО-Университете в 1998 г.

В учебных программах факультета предусмотрены курсы по сравнительному анализу регионов мира и полит и- ческих систем России и зарубежных стран (различных моделей партийных и избирательных систем, федеративного устройства, парламентаризма и президентства и др.), современным тенденциям и проблемам политического разв и- тия мира (проблемы безопасности, международной интеграции, принятия внешнеполитических решений, конфли к- тологии, международных организаций и др.), а также многие другие курсы, необходимые для подготовки профе с- сиональных политиков, политических аналитиков и консультантов для работы в российских и международных политических и деловых структурах.

На факультете Политологии обязательным является изучение двух европейских языков: английского (1-й язык) и французского или немецкого (2-й язык). Такая профессиональная подготовка предлагается сегодня в России только на факультете Политологии МГИМО(у).

Учебные планы факультета Политологии ориентированы на подготовку прежде всего, кадров профессиональных политиков, политических аналитиков и консультантов для самой широкой сферы:

государственных учреждений (МИД и другие федеральные исполнительные и законодательные органы власти, руководящие органы субъектов Федерации и др.);

негосударственных структур (крупный и средний бизнес; политические партии и общественные движения; консалтинговые, аналитические, исследовательские, образовательные центры; СМИ, международные и российские неправительственные организации и др.);

межгосударственных организаций (ООН, ЮНЕСКО, ОБСЕ, СНГ и др.);

научно-исследовательских учреждений.

Открытие факультета Политологии в МГИМО(у) стало ответом на реальную общественную потребность России, которой нужны сегодня профессионалы в области политического анализа, владеющие на уровне международных стандартов знаниями по сравнительной и прикладной политологии, мировой политике.

Факультет Политологии изначально ориентирован на международную проблематику в самом широком ее понимании. Эта направленность выбрана в силу того, что международный аспект присущ современной сравнительной политологии вообще. Факультет обеспечивает традиционно свойственное МГИМО(у) высокое качество подготовки по иностранным языкам.

Обширные международные связи Университета, научный авторитет преподавателей факультета Политологии помогают выходить на качественный мировой уровень обучения. В свою очередь это позволяет успевающим студентам проходить краткосрочные стажировки и обучение в ведущих иностранных университетах. Факультет Политологии обеспечивает высококачественную многопрофильную общегуманитарную и многоцелевую политологическую подготовку университетского уровня, что в дальнейшем позволит его выпускникам гибко адаптироваться к условиям рынка труда.
