A large part of study time is devoted to fundamental subjects. The higher school aims to turn out highly-educated specialists whose training is not restricted to the present-day requirements of a narrow branch of production, let alone a concrete enterprise or institution. During his student years the future specialist who receives broad specialized training, has extensive production practice in the course of which he is paid a salary corresponding to the work he performs. After graduation (state examination and the presentation of his diploma work) he is given a post enjoying all the rights of a specialist.
