Students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages (FFL) of the TSPU spent the winter semester at the University of Poland: four months ago, eight of our stidents went to study at a university in Wroclaw as part of an academic exchange program. Svetlana Zakharenko, second-year undergraduate of the FFL, told us about study, student life, cultural and educational events and travels throughout Europe.

For FFL students, studying in Wroclaw is a real fairy tale! We gain a lot of experience in the classroom, as they all conducted in English. The most favorite subject in most of our company was the Practice of Speech, conducted by native speakers from the USA or Great Britain. The advantage of such classes is that it is...

Field of Scientific Activity

The head of the scientific school of theoretical physicists specialized in the research of classification problems in gravity theory. Valery Oukhov assisted to the development  of the principles of classifications of spatio-temporal manifolds  according to the presence of specified sets of Killing's fields. Important classification problems for Stackel, conformally-stackel and homogeneous spaces for general theory of relativity (both in the presence of substance and in vacuum, as well as for alternative gravitation theories (including theories with a dilatopic field) have been set and solved. As a result a new scientific school on the verge of gravity and mathematical physics was created.

Articles in the leading foreign journals (J. Math Phys., Journal of Phys., Phys. Lett., and others) are regularly quoted by the specialists in the field of gravitation and mathematical physics.
