On September 11, 1930, the Council of People's Commissars, with the participation of the Council of Labor and Defense of the USSR, issued a resolution on its creation. But officially the birthday of the university is considered to be December 17 - the first day of classes at 4 faculties of the Nizhny Novgorod Institute of River Transport Engineers (as it was called then). The founder and owner of the property of VAVT is the Russian Federation.

Business card

At the Volga Academy of Water Transport (Nizhny Novgorod), which has become a state university since 2015, the educational process is carried out according to higher and secondary vocational school programs. At the same time, state and federal educational standards of the II and III generations are being implemented.

Today, more than 6.5 thousand students are studying at the university, and the teaching staff consists of 340 teachers.

Higher education at the university is implemented at the levels:

• specialty - with a period of study of five and five and a half years, within the framework of which, in addition to basic education, in-depth training in the chosen profile is completed;
• bachelor's degree - where the graduate, after 4 years, receives a diploma with a "bachelor's" degree, and fundamental training without a narrow profile is paramount in training;
• Master's programs - with in-depth professional specialization and a duration of study of 2.5 years; The main master's degree is research and analytical work;
• postgraduate studies - postgraduate professional education; its graduates are predominantly engaged in scientific and teaching activities in the country's universities.

Training includes full-time and part-time forms.

Secondary vocational education, which is represented by the Nizhny Novgorod River School named after. Kulibin, provides training after grades 9 and 11 for 2-4 years (depending on the profile).

Academy branches provide training in higher (bachelor's and specialist's) and secondary vocational school programs.

Structure

The Volga Academy of Water Transport in Nizhny Novgorod is a large educational complex, which is represented by three faculties, one institute (IUEIP) and 26 departments.

In addition, VAVT has four branches in Astrakhan, Samara, Kazan and Perm. Secondary vocational education is carried out at the Nizhny Novgorod River School named after. I. P. Kulibina.

Faculties

Students of the Water Academy are taught navigation at the faculty of the same name. Engineers of sea and river vessels are graduated from here. The latest methods and educational tools, practical specialized simulators provide a full-fledged educational process that meets the requirements of the International Convention for the Training and Certification of Seafarers. Thanks to the excellent theoretical and practical basis, graduates of this faculty, in addition to domestic shipping enterprises, are also employed in foreign ones.

At the Faculty of Electromechanics, students become engineers specializing in:

• maintenance of electrical equipment of ships and automatic means;
• operation of transshipment port equipment and transport terminals;
• maintenance of transport radio equipment.

Students of this faculty subsequently find work at enterprises of the Ministry of Transport, in design bureaus, design institutes, and become commanders (in terms of electromechanics) of coastal enterprises, shipping companies and basin railway departments.

Another faculty of the university graduates engineers involved in shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering (waterways, ports, water transport structures) and environmental protection.

In 2016, by merging two faculties, the Institute of Economics, Management and Law was formed, which trains economists, financiers, accountants, managers, logisticians and lawyers. Graduates of the institute are willingly hired by shipping companies and ports; they serve as specialists in large companies providing analytical, auditing, consulting and marketing services. They also become heads of tax services, banks and leading specialists of various Russian enterprises.

• for studying directly at the university and its branches;
• by forms of education (full-time and part-time);
• according to educational level programs (bachelor's, specialist's, master's) depending on the profile.

• navigation - 75 places;
• electromechanics - 235;
• shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering and environmental protection - 110;
• IUEIP - 50.

There were 50 and 20 budget places allocated for master's and postgraduate studies, respectively.

Exams

To enroll in engineering majors at the university, applicants must pass entrance examinations in three disciplines (physics, Russian language and mathematics).

Those who have chosen jurisprudence as a future profession take the Russian language, social studies and history; when entering “Economics” and “Management”, applicants are expected to take: Russian language, mathematics and social studies.

Enrollment stages

Priority for enrollment without entrance exams is assigned to persons with special rights (within the quota). Here we are talking about the prerogative for:

• winners of prizes at the All-Russian Olympiad, members of Russian national teams who took part in international Olympiads;
• winners of prizes at the final stage of all-Ukrainian student Olympiads (from among those recognized as citizens of the Russian Federation);
• winners of prizes at school Olympiads in a specialized discipline. In this category, for admission to the Nizhny Novgorod Academy of Water Transport, schoolchildren must have a passing score of at least 75 based on the Unified State Examination results.

Next in line for admission to the academy (within the appropriate quota) if the exams are successfully passed are applicants of the preferential category. Here priority goes to: disabled children, disabled people of groups 1 and 2, disabled children, orphans and children without parental care.

Well, the third group in order of admission includes applicants who have successfully passed the entrance exams and received points (from 99 to 110).

Paid training

At VAVT, for students who did not qualify for state-funded places, training is provided under an agreement on the provision of paid educational services. The annual cost of training at the Academy of Water Transport (Nizhny Novgorod) varies between 25-70 thousand rubles, depending on the chosen specialization.

When enrolling in the academy, you must pass a special medical commission for the crew. If during the course of his studies a student turns out to be unfit to work as a sailor due to health reasons, he will be transferred to coastal specialization or expelled for medical reasons. This should be taken into account when choosing this university for admission.

Volga State Academy of Water Transport: reviews

VGAVT graduates often speak positively about the quality of the education they received and fondly remember the times spent within the walls of their home university. The advantages include:

• the level of training in technical specialties, which are the hallmark of the academy;
• a good reputation of university graduates, which helps in finding a well-paid job;
• excellent technical and training base, which improves the quality of practical training.

High-quality “technicians”-professionals are trained by the Volga Academy of Water Transport in Nizhny Novgorod. User reviews confirm this, but at the same time clarify that the process of studying at a university is very difficult, the main goal of teachers is to fill students with knowledge and teach them to apply it in real work so as not to tarnish the reputation of the academy. Therefore, graduates advise not to choose this university if you need to get a higher education “for show.” And it is recommended to master the professions of manager, economist and accountant here only if the future place of work is connected with water transport and its infrastructure. Because, in addition to the specialized subjects of this direction, many technical ones are studied, which makes the learning process more complex.

Well, if you dream of becoming a highly qualified engineer, love to learn and are not afraid of difficulties, the admissions office of VGAVT is located in Nizhny Novgorod on Nesterova Street, 5.
