Reviews/references/responses

«I’ve chosen the study program Architecture at Polotsk State University, mostly, because of creativity in the profession. The study program Architecture has many advantages in comparison with other creative study programs. If you like sculpture, painting, creativity, you can develop as a interior designer, landscaper, painter or decorator. One more advantage is learning graphical programs and 3D-modeling programs that definitely improve your skills and knowledge as a specialist. In fact, you can also work as a visualizer, graphic designer or illustrator. Having moved to another country I found myself as a painter, decorator and graphic designer. I have many creative projects and orders of different level. I’m very grateful to this profession for such a wide range of directions and the right to choose my own way of development!»

«I graduated from Polotsk State University in 2017 having specialized in Architecture. I’m very glad that I’ve chosen this study program. I can say that I do not regret about my choice. One important advantage of the study program Architecture is a wide range of professional spheres and directions after graduation. You can work not only as an architect, but also a designer, painter, visualizer and others. At the University there is an opportunity to get your second higher education, for example, and a construction engineer and have become an architecture-constructor. There are highly skilled lecturers at the University that teach us university courses and share their practical experience. At PSU everyone can find own ways for the development: research activity, creative environment (KVN, dancing, theatre and others). Our Department have carried out trips to architectural festivals (Minsk, Moscow), exhibitions, contests».

«Having studied Architecture for 6 years I can say that I’ve made the right choice. The study process for future architects differs from other programs. When other students (studying different study programs) attend lecturers, we have various types of activity – painting, breadboarding, sculpture. We also have an opportunity to attend architectural exhibitions. An architect is a many-sided profession. It combines interior designer, landscape architecture, architect, designer of small architectural shapes, town-planners. Future architects have many advantages:

• Highly skilled specialists are always in demand. Cities are developing and getting bigger.
• Architects are usually highly paid because project design is really complicated. It requires an individual approach to each object.
• Make projects. It’s a very creative work, and this is a great opportunity to realize your ideas.

If you are ready to study and work hard, reach your goals, then choose the profession of an architect!»
