KHARKIV STATE UNIVERSITY OF FOOD TECHNOLOGY AND TRADE

The Kharkiv State University of Food Technology and Trade is a multi-profile institution of higher education of the 4^th level of accreditation. It is aimed at training specialists in food production, catering, trade, customs, hospitality and tourism.

The University has continued the glorious traditions of Sloboda’s commercial training for more than one hundred years. The recent history of the University starts in 1967 with Kharkiv Institute of Public Catering. In October 2002 our institution of higher education was granted the University status.

Our University has well-equipped laboratories, lecture halls, a library and a computer centre. The library provides a lot of necessary books, text-books dictionaries, reference books, journals etc. Students not originally from Kharkiv can stay at our hostel.

The course of study lasts 5-6 years. The academic year consists of two semesters. And at the end of each semester there is an examination session. According to the curriculum during the first two years students have to attend lectures on some humanitarian and general educational subjects. Specialization begins in the third year.

At present time there are six faculties at our University where the students of day-time and correspondence departments are trained. They are the Process Engineering faculty, Economics faculty, Accounting and Finance faculty, Merchandise Expertising faculty, Management faculty, the faculty of Equipment and Technical Service.

The students are engaged in Bachelor, Specialist and Master degree programmes. The Center for Professional and Pre-Higher Learning Training, the Ukrainian-German Lyceum, the preparation departments for the Ukrainian and foreign citizens prepare young people to enter the University.

The teaching staff of the University includes many professors, assistant professors, candidates of sciences, lecturers, and experienced laboratory assistants. 27 University departments conduct research in the priority fields of engineering, technology and economics of food production and services. Every year the University holds scientific conferences with the participation of the leading scientists and managers in trade and catering. The students also take an active part in the scientific work and make reports during the conferences.

The students get practical experience at the major quality restaurants, hotels and firms in Ukraine and abroad.

This year I have entered the Kharkiv State University of Food Technology and Trade. The entrance examinations were rather difficult but I passed them with good and excellent marks. Now I am a first year student of the Economics faculty of the day-time department.
