Kherson State University

I study at Kherson University. It is one of the biggest Universities in Ukraine. It is situated in the centre of the city. First it was a Pedagogical Institute, which was founded in 1917. It contained only a few faculties where about a hundred of students studied. A present day the University has a large number of buildings with a lot of classrooms studies, laboratories and workshops. There are also computer centres, five reading halls and gyms in it. There is a big library at the University. Our library has a lot of books necessary for everyday teacher’s and students’ work. These books deal with the achievements of our science in different fields. The library has also books in fiction and science-fiction by Ukrainian and foreign authors.

There are about 36 chairs where famous professors and senior lecturers work. There are 11 faculties and institutions at the University.

I study at one of the faculties. Our classes begin at 9 o'clock in the morning and end at 3 p.m. We have 3-4 lectures or seminars every day. We learn different subjects: History of Ukraine, English, Psychology, Pedagogics, Physical Training and others. My favourite subject is English.

The students of the University combine theoretic study and practical work at schools. The graduates of our University work in cities and countryside of Ukraine and abroad.
