Ural Law Academy: reviews of applicants and students
Entering a law academy (university) for higher education programs is not such an unrealizable dream. It is quite feasible. To enter a university, you need to pass 3 exams - in Russian, social science and history. Applicants note that it is possible to score good points thanks to preparatory courses. They are offered at USGUU at different dates- for a week, for 8 or 5 months. This allows each applicant to choose the most suitable courses for themselves in terms of duration, taking into account existing knowledge and gaps.
Those people who are already students talk about the difficulty of learning. Jurisprudence is not such a simple discipline as it might seem at first glance. To become a good specialist you have to try to learn. However, some individuals are not particularly interested in learning. Successful students complain that teachers often turn a blind eye to the lack of knowledge. Because of this attitude, the university graduates some specialists who do not even know the basics of legal science. As a result, the reputation of the academy is deteriorating.
Despite this, one can still say that USGUU is a university that is on the same level with many Moscow higher educational institutions. Those students who are responsible for their studies receive very good knowledge at the Ural Law Academy (University) and build an excellent career in the future.
