Faculty of History and Philology
DEAR FRIENDS
The main task of the faculty is high-quality training of students, who are able to implement their professional competence in the broad field of humanitarian and educational activities in Russia and abroad. History and philology, archeology and journalism, ethnology and museology, rhetoric and religion reveal you an amazing and mysterious world of heroes, people, civilizations and epochs. A person becomes a true citizen, aware of the values of the past and the present when he or she starts to study history. That is why the ancients Romans believed that history was the teacher of life.
Our graduates have vast opportunities of professional research, administrative, educational, cultural and creative activity in institutes of general and additional education as well as in field of cultural activities (media, museums, libraries, art institutions, etc.), public and municipal management and governmental structures.
The graduates of the faculty take leading teaching positions in educational institutions and efficiently solve issues of historical and social science, literary and philological education in Russia and abroad. TSPU education enables our graduates to realize their professional demands and be successfully engaged in many sectors of the Russian economy, governance and politics.
Future teachers! At the Faculty you have an opportunity to participate in interesting archaeological excavations in the Tomsk and Altai region, unique internships, unforgettable trips to museums of Russia, language practice in Wroclaw University (Poland), Olomouc University (Czech Republic), Mudanjiang University (China), new impressions and amazing meetings.
