Achievements. Every year students of the Economics Faculty take an active part in competitive scholarship programs. Among students of academic year 2019-2020 are holders of scholarships of the Russian President, the President of the Republic of Tatarstan and
Mayor of Kazan. Many graduates hold top executive positions at commercial banks in the republic and Russia as well as leading positions at government entities.
Teaching staff is not only highly qualified, but also has rather good research performance indicators and required work experience in economics. More than 87% of teachers hold academic degrees and titles, 99% have education relevant to the disciplines they teach. The
heads of banking and finance and tax companies, with more than ten years’ work experience, take an active part in developing and delivering the educational programs.
Facilities and resources. All students have continuous access to the electronic library systems www.iprbooks.ru and www.urait.ru, the Consultant Plus and Garant legal information systems and electronic textbooks in ISU VUZ—the learning process management system which is an exclusive development of the University of Management “TISBI.” The learning environment comprises a specialized licensed software package that allows students to simulate the business processes of a virtual economic agent and analyze its activity. Students have access to the electronic system “Chief Accountant: Check of Contractors.” During practical classes, students regularly use Internet services of the Federal Service of Court Bailiffs, the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography, Consultant, My judge, Justice, and the Federal Tax Service account services.
Education. The balance of theory and practice is an advantage of economists training. Teachers use innovative educational technologies such as case studies, interactive classes in small research teams, workshops and business role plays that help students immerse
themselves in the near-real working environment of an economic agent, a commercial bank, or a tax office. As part of projects, each student develops business planning skills. Students undertake internships to develop primary abilities and skills in the Laboratory of Simulation Modeling using the computer simulation business game “BUSINESS COURSE: Corporation Plus” and the management system “1С:Enterprise 8.2.” Graduates can pursue Master’s and PhD degrees at the University of Management “TISBI” or foreign partner universities in the Czech Republic, Finland, China, and the USA.
