09.00 to 20.00 hours in an offline format.
For on-the-job EP, the educational process is organized daily from Monday to Saturday
in offline mode with a period from 09.00 hours to 20.00 hours, also in online mode with a
period of 19.00 hours to 22.00 hours.
6.4. The organization of the educational process within one academic year is carried
out based on the academic calendar, which is approved by the decision of the Academic
Council.
The academic calendar displays the periods of training sessions, intermediate and final
certification, professional practices, internships and other types of academic work during the
academic year, rest days (vacations and holidays).
6.5. The academic year consists of academic periods (semesters of theoretical
training), intermediate certification (exams, examination sessions), periods vacations,
professional practice, internships, academic and final certifications.
6.6. Each academic period ends with a period of intermediate certification of students
(examination session / final control).
6.7. Each academic year (apart from graduate master's and doctoral courses) ends
with a period of academic certification. Academic certification is the basis for transfer to the
next year.
6.8. Vacations are granted to students after each academic period, while the duration
of vacation time in the academic year is at least 7 weeks, apart from the final course.
6.9. Practice is a mandatory type of educational work of the student. When organizing
the educational process, it can introduce practice both separately from the academic period
and in parallel with the academic period.
6.10. The results of the practice are considered when summing up the results of the
interim certification.
6.11. The duration of the practice is determined in weeks based on the standard time
of the student's work in practice during the week, equal to at least 30 hours (6 hours a day
with a 5-day working week).
6.12. It can introduce a summer semester (apart from the graduate course of
undergraduates) lasting at least 6 weeks to meet the needs for additional training, eliminate
academic debt or differences in EP, master related or additional EP, including double degree
programs.

conduct 1 (one) academic hour for all types of academic work up to 40 minutes, at the
appropriate order of the supervising vice-rector.

is performed under the guidance of a teacher (IWSGT), and the part that is performed
completely independently (IWS).
6.15. The entire volume of IWS is confirmed by tasks that require daily independent
work from the student.
6.16. The ratio of interactive classes / lectures, IWSGT and IWS is determined in the
ratio of 10/10/10 academic hours, respectively.
6.17. Academic groups are formed according to the principle of an enough students
enrolled in this discipline and to this teacher and achieving an enough level of their
profitability. Classroom planning is carried out, as a rule, for academic groups of 10 (ten) to
50 (fifty) people, apart from groups where the enrollment was less than 10 students.
Practical classes in language disciplines are planned in subgroups of 8 (eight) to 14
(fourteen) people, apart from groups where the enrollment was less than 10 students. It is
