Educational structures

The educational part of SSAU is divided into faculties, each of which trains students in a specific set of specialties, and each of which has several departments. Each faculty is managed by its dean’s office, headed, in turn, by the dean of the faculty; Departments are led by heads of departments. A special feature of the names of faculties is the fact that when designating a faculty, its number is often used. chronological order education, not the title.

SSAU provides training in three forms: full-time, part-time and part-time. A separate faculty has been created for the latter, which is described here. Full-time education involves maximum amount classroom training, both lecture and practical. It provides the most complete and quality education. The main feature of this form of education is the fact that the vast majority of students studying on it are trained on a budgetary basis, i.e. they do not pay any fees for education. Classroom lessons on part-time training is conducted in the evening, and there are significantly fewer of them than on a full-time basis. In this case, the student is forced to master most of the material on his own, but, nevertheless, this can be convenient for students working in an enterprise or receiving education at several universities.

For people who have already received higher education, the university operates postgraduate and doctoral studies, training scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel in the person of candidates of sciences and doctors of sciences at the expense of budget funds on a full-time basis.

Most of the conferences are devoted to problems of aviation and astronautics, although the topic can be any other, for example, the development of higher education in Russia or high tech in modern fantasy literature. Main goals scientific conferences SSAU - arousing interest in scientific research among the younger generation of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as the exchange of experience among professional research scientists.

In addition, SSAU holds a lot of competitions, both educational and scientific, based on the results of which the winners are usually awarded grants. Competitions can be held both among students (for example, “Potanin Competition”) and among teachers (for example, “Competition for Young Teachers and Researchers of SSAU”). The competitions are designed to increase the desire for study among students and for scientific activity among university teachers.

Results of scientific activities

The scientific activities of SSAU have very high results. Only in the period from to 123 candidates of sciences and 34 doctors of sciences were trained. During this period, university students received 97 awards in the all-Russian open competition for the best student scientific work. During these 5 years, university staff received 163 patents, of which 21 patents were obtained jointly with students; 36 scientific conferences were held, including 11 all-Russian and 9 international. The volume of scientific work carried out with the help of the university’s research department in 2004 amounted to 67.1 million rubles.

Public organizations

The following public organizations exist in SSAU: - , - trade union organization of employees, - “SSAU Veteran”, - SSAU Board of Trustees.

Leisure and entertainment

SSAU cares not only about education and scientific training students, but also about organizing their leisure time. Plans for such an organization are usually developed by university staff, although they are often a student initiative. At SSAU, based on the regulations of the rector, various student clubs operate, such as the IT club “ASIS” or the intellectual games club, which provide students with a lot of alternative ways to spend their free time in accordance with their own preferences.

Several train at the university sports teams for different sports. They regularly successfully participate in various competitions, for example, in interuniversity sports competitions.

The university has an equipped assembly hall, which annually hosts several pop performances and festivals, such as “Student Spring” and “Student Autumn”. The performances involve the participation of individual Student Theaters of Variety Miniatures for each faculty, as well as independent performers and groups.

Thanks to an extensive computer network, students’ passion for online computer games, for example, the famous Counter-Strike, in which local championships are even held among students, is not the last place in the list of possible leisure activities. During such championships, the corridor of one of the dormitories serves as the spectator and playing halls.

Gaming club "Beyond the Borders"

"A man plays only when he is in full meaning words are a man, and he is fully human only when he plays." That is why in 2010, the Game Technology Club "Beyond the Boundaries" appeared at SSAU. During its existence, the club has developed and successfully organized many games of various genres and directions. In 2011 year, the club received a grant from the V. Potanin Foundation to conduct a gaming camp for SSAU students.

Yacht club "Aist"

Many students and employees of SSAU are known for their passion for sailing. It began to be expressed soon after the creation of the university - in the 50s of the 20th century. The sailing section is one of the oldest in the faculty. It was founded back in 1972, and since then it has been led by its founder - the highest category coach, republican category judge, Olympic measurer, yacht captain, twice master of sports Mikhail Vasilyevich Koltsov. Currently, the sailing section has been renamed the “Aist” yacht club. During the existence of the section, the university trained 114 first-class athletes, 69 candidates for master of sports and 10 masters of sports. Members of the yacht club regularly take part in sailing regattas of various levels.

Russia, Kuibyshev, KuAI, 1942

After the departure of Professor V.P. Lukachev in 1988, the future RAS academician Vladimir Pavlovich Shorin became the new rector of KuAI, but already in 1990 he was replaced by the current rector of SSAU, corresponding member of the RAS Viktor Aleksandrovich Soifer. On December 25, 1991, the city of Kuibyshev was renamed Samara, as its historical name, and therefore the institute itself was renamed. It was named Samara Aviation Institute, but already on September 23, 1992 it received the status of a university and since then has had its current name.

SSAU graduates are rightfully considered the most diversified and ready for management work, which is confirmed by the fact that the leadership of Samara and the region includes more than 80% of graduates of this university.

Faculty of Correspondence Studies

SSAU began conducting correspondence training for specialists in 1999, and already in 2000, due to an increase in the number of students wishing to receive higher education at SSAU by correspondence, a faculty was created for this purpose. It trains specialists in the most popular specialties and areas that already exist in other faculties. The main advantage of the faculty is the absence of classroom classes, which can be very beneficial for students who are already closely involved in work or study at another university. Sometimes the department of correspondence education is still called the eighth department, although this is not officially accepted. The dean of the faculty is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Valery Dmitrievich Elenev.

Faculty of Pre-University Training

The Faculty of Pre-University Training was founded in 1990 to work primarily with current or potential SSAU applicants. He will conduct preparatory courses, testing and subject Olympiads, which should attract the most prepared Samara youth to SSAU. The dean of the faculty is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Evgeniy Aleksandrovich Izzheurov.

Departments of general humanities

Some departments of SSAU are not usually classified as any faculty. These departments provide training in their disciplines to students of all faculties.

Military department

Scientific activity

Scientific research has been carried out at SSAU since its creation, and its assignment to university status was not unexpected. The scientific departments of SSAU are developed no worse than the educational ones and function at full capacity. In them, the same teachers with initiative students are engaged in research and development. Moreover, in almost every specialty, a student, one way or another, has to engage in scientific work, since this is included in the educational program.

Main scientific directions
