Regular daily studies classes are provided from Monday to Friday, from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Optional classes and physical education classes are run in the afternoon. Evening Studies are conducted from Monday to Friday, from 5.15 p.m. to 9.00 p.m., and Extramural Courses exclusively on Saturday and Sunday (all day long). Seventeen extramural meetings planned for each semester are divided into classes with compulsory attendance. (Students are supposed to attend a minimum of 70% of tutorials to get a credit). Lectures are not compulsory.
The Academy prepares and conducts many optional classes for students, including workshops focused on improving effectiveness of learning. We also host regular meetings with branch representatives or specialists in related fields which are of interest to the students. The meetings are greatly popular with our undergraduates and attendance is free of charge.
Classes are conducted in fairly small groups of about 12 to 20 students. This facilitates the creation of optimum learning conditions and makes room for individual differences in the speed of learning. It also makes it possible to adapt teaching methods to the needs of each group.
