March 2, 2015 at 14:00How I went to study in Singapore for free
Hi, I am a student of the joint program of the National University of Singapore ( 13th place according to the Times Higher Education) and Innopolis University in the field of Information and Communication Security . In this article I want to talk about how I got to this program, about my first impressions of Singapore and studying there. If interested, welcome to cat [a lot of photos!].
I want to say a few words about the city-state of Singapore. The city, first of all, impresses with its modern, well-maintained architecture, combined with rich vegetation, the presence of parks and various kinds of areas for recreation and sports.
Very convenient and clear transport system. You can get from one part of the city to another by any public transport, either by metro or by a bunk bus with a minimal amount, and sometimes without any transfers. It is important to note that in Singapore, unlike many other large industrial cities - millionaires, there is a very high level of security, whether it is the city center or the outskirts. Locals are very welcoming and friendly, respectful to all visitors to the city. Here you can meet people from almost all corners and parts of the world.
Acquaintance with the University began with a visit to the academic campus - this is a large, separately allocated part of the territory, which includes various faculties, administrative, business centers and technology parks, sports fields, catering facilities, medical centers, everything that every person needs in everyday life life without a long separation from study or work. Inside the campus there are special university buses equipped with an electronic geolocation system, having installed a mobile application for which you can precisely orient in time so as not to be late for the desired bus. In general, what is particularly striking is the widespread introduction of various information systems in the learning process and everyday activities. This is one of the main missions of the University and the task of the Faculty of Information Technology, namely the development and implementation of innovative solutions in society, designed to create the necessary conditions for the successful operation and prosperity of not only the University itself, but also beyond. Therefore, so often there are various kinds of international and interuniversity conferences, competitions, meetings and conversations with famous and successful people in their field. The IT department itself, in addition, is one of the main prides of the University, since it not only holds a leading position in all of Asia, but also enters the world ranking of the top 10 best universities in the world in terms of education in information technology. designed to create the necessary conditions for the successful operation and prosperity of not only the University itself, but also beyond.

My training at the Faculty of Information Technology began with an orientation week, where I had the opportunity to visit any classes and choose among them the most interesting and suitable in my directionlearning subjects. From all the variety, I chose the following courses for myself: System Security, Topics in System Security, Business in Software, Data Structures and Algorithms. As a result of the past semester, in short, I can say that the training is very exciting, intensive, including not only inter-semester exams and individual tasks, much attention is also given to working in groups, protecting projects and presenting your decisions. Tasks are initially set at a very high level, for the most part, based on the latest research and advances in information technology. In projects and assignments, the main emphasis is on the use of free software, the protection of which applies the principle of competitiveness, and the assessment is carried out not only by the teacher and his assistants,
Summarizing, without exaggeration, it becomes clear why for the citizens of Singapore, this University is one of the main attractions, since it is here that great efforts are made to conduct research and create innovative solutions and industries in various fields of activity for the whole country.
Innopolis University, the new Russian university specializing in education in IT and robotics, is being built in partnership with leading IT universities in the world . For the third year in a row, the university announces a competition for a grant covering the cost of training for its own master's programs, as well as for programs at partner universities.
For me, less than a month has passed from the moment of applying for the grant.
Nowadays, selection is being made to Innopolis University for the programs of the 2015/2016 academic year , I will be glad to answer questions about the contest and its features, but first see the [FAQ] .
In the next article I will definitely tell you about the differences I found in the educational systems in Russia and abroad, the features of project work in multicultural teams.
Based on materials from the 2014/2015 graduate student Kirill Saltanov.
