I would like to tell you about my college. I`m a full-time student at Volgograd College of Gas and Oil.

Volgograd College of Gas and Oil is a non-state educational institution of the joint-stock company «Gazprom» which prepares specialists for gas and oil industry. The college was founded in 1953. Now there are three faculties in the college the faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering and the faculty of Economics.

The faculty of Economics at Volgograd College of Gas and Oil offers a course in accounting and finance in business. The course of studies lasts for about three years for full-time students and four years for the students of the extramural department. Training is done by lectures and seminars. The level of training is high thanks to a combination of theoretical knowledge and practice.

The economic faculty dates back to 1993. It was created when there was an acute shortage of qualified managers in the country and industry. Since those days the faculty has trained hundreds of managers for the natural gas and oil branch of the economy. It gradually grew in size and at present it is one of the largest at Volgograd College of Gas and Oil. The entry requirements for applicants for places available are high and depend on the results of the Unified State Examination in Russian and Math.

The first year gives students a basic knowledge of the business in accounting. They study Introduction to philosophy, history, Mathematics, computer, economic theory, mathematics, foreign languages etc. The second-year program includes professional terminology in English, quality management, finance, monetary circulation, credit, taxes and taxation, accounting, analysis of financial activity etc. In the 3^rd year great emphasis is given to the study of mathematical methods in economics, economic and informational systems, management, auditing, accounting records, business planning. Much time is spent on expanding students’ conceptual knowledge, and they are also taught how to use valuation techniques in assessing the results of business performance. Much attention is paid to the study of computer technologies. Computer skills are very important for future accountants. At the end of the course of studies the students take state final examinations and those who pass these exams successfully get a diploma. After graduation they work as accountants in different businesses, firms, government agencies, auditing companies and the like.

The accounting faculty at Volgograd College of Gas and Oil enjoys popularity with the young people who would like to be accountants. The students of the faculty come from different parts of Volgograd region and Russia.
