I am a first-year correspondence student of the Department of Constitutional and Municipal Law at the Bryansk Branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration.

The RANEPA is considered to be one of the most popular educational institutions of the Bryansk region. People can get here the following specialties: «State and Municipal Administration»; «Organizational Management»; «Jurisprudence»; «Economy and Finance», «Human Resource Management», «Economic Security» and « Applied Computer Science».

Full-time students should have secondary education or secondary vocational education; part-time students have secondary vocational or higher education. Besides, the Bryansk Branch carries out retraining state employees and improvement of their professional skills.

The priority guideline of the Bryansk Branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration is the high professional level of the teaching staff that successfully allows solving the problems of up-to-date education, to connect training with practice.
