Partner of the UGNTU Championship – about great opportunities for future specialists

Oleg Baulin, Rector of Ufa State Petroleum Technical University (UGNTU), said at a press conference on the specifics of the 2021 admission campaign and measures to support school graduates: high scholarships for high-scoring students and Olympiad winners are not a way to attract them to university, but a contribution to the development of talented children.

- Increased scholarships are a mechanism to support students. Basically, universities pay them only for the first semester, and we pay them for the entire first year of study. Both students with a hundred points and those with scores of 95 or higher in one exam participate in our scholarship programs. They receive 100,000 rubles. Also, increased scholarships are awarded to those who have the sum of the results for three Unified State Exams of 250 points or higher," Oleg Alexandrovich noted. - But we don't exchange the loyalty of hundred-dollar employees for money - we invest in the development of the guys. After all, they have higher academic requirements. We expect that students will use the increased scholarships to purchase additional literature, subscribe to interesting online courses and internships.

It is worth emphasizing that after the first year of study, the scholarship support program does not end: in the second and subsequent courses, students of the University of Petroleum are awarded increased academic scholarships for academic success, science, social activities, and so on. Several hundred people receive corporate scholarships from large companies in the amount of 20 to 50 thousand rubles per month.

This year, applicants have a real opportunity to enroll in the budget at UGNTU, as the number of budget places has increased significantly. If there used to be a competition in Neftyanoye, even among the medalists, now the situation has been overcome. For comparison, in 2019 there were just over 1,100 of them, in 2021 there were already over three thousand.

Besides? This year, the university will organize admission to the specialized corporate group of the largest integrated petrochemical company Sibur Holding in a number of technical specialties - chemical technologies, automation, energy, oil and gas industry. This group will include, first of all, graduates of colleges and technical schools who have the skills and access to perform certain work functions. During the training period, they will complete a one-year internship with a fixed workplace in Sibur subsidiaries, and after graduation they will be considered for employment as a matter of priority. By the way, UGNTU has more than 30 such corporate groups, because Ufa Petroleum University is the main university of the country, Gazprom, Rosneft, Gazprom Neft and Sibur.

Today, the university is already implementing 275 training areas. And in addition to classical technical specialties in the oil and gas industry, chemical technologies, automation and construction, thanks to which the Reference Oil is widely known not only in Russia but also abroad, the university now trains specialists in the field of digital technologies, informatization and robotics. A number of departments are already working in these areas of training at the university, for example, the departments of Rosneft and Gazprom.

"This year, we are opening more than 40 new specialties, most of them in the field of informatization and digital technologies," Oleg Baulin said. - One of the most unusual, in my opinion, is the medical informatics program implemented jointly with the Israeli University. I would like to note that our university has created a really wide network of academic mobility programs with leading Russian and foreign universities. When a student comes to us, he does not stay in Ufa, he does internships in different regions of the country and abroad, which results in a kind of nomadic educational tourism. Therefore, our students have great opportunities and broad prospects.
