Rector of BSTU Professor I.M. Zharski
Now the University is a large, dynamically developing multi-profile education, and scientific centre in the Republic of Belarus with a wide scope of activities, trailing highly competitive specialists for the following domains: forestry and utilization of forest resources; chemical technologies and bio-technologies; special-purpose machines and equipment; automated control systems; engineering industry; metrology; standardization and certification; printing and publishing; economics; power engineering; professional training. As a basic educational institution in Belarus the University determines the main trends in the development of education in the spheres of forestry, chemical technology and ecology. The University contains 10 faculties, 51 departments, 5 affiliates of departments, 5 educational-scientific-production complexes which train about 13 000 students and 189 doctorates and post-graduates. Over 663 specialists of various branches of industry are annually provided with retraining and qualification up-grade courses.
Our University trains engineers for 27 specialties and 54 specializations; the same time the university trains highly-qualified researchers doing Master Candidate and Doctor Degree courses. 14 scientific schools have been established at the University; 6 Specialized Cand. Sc./D. Sc. Certification Councils providing the opportunity to maintain theses for 3-5 Doctor of Science Degrees an 30-35 Candidate of Science Degrees are functioning at the University. y and in the work of the University cannot be overestimated. They are outstanding scientists, laureates of national awards, ministers, managers of large production amalgamations and enterprises. Their creative work contributes much to the glory of our native Republic and of the University.
The success achieved by the University and its prominence are the result of creative and motivated efforts of the teaching staff, scholars, technicians an students. More than 40 000 graduates of the University are employed in man branches of national economy.
This Prospectus aims to give a brief history of the University, a general insight into its structure and main trends of activities.
