More than 80,000 students have graduated from the University since the date of its foundation. University graduates are more than specialists in a certain field. First of all they are successful people who can set goals and achieve them. There is no field where our graduates have not succeeded. They are everywhere – top-managers, statesmen, politicians, ministers, sport champions, journalists, musicians, honoured teachers. They contribute to the good name and reputation of our University. We are proud that the winners of all annual professional teachers’ contests in Samara region are our graduates.
