- excellent technical and training base, which improves the quality of practical training.
High-class "techies"-professionals are graduating from the Volga Academy of Water Transport in Nizhny Novgorod. User reviews confirm this, but at the same time they clarify that the process of studying at a university is very difficult, the main goal of teachers is to fill students with knowledge and teach how to apply them in real work so as not to tarnish the reputation of the academy. Therefore, graduates are advised not to choose this university in the case when you need to get a higher education "for show". And the professions of a manager, economist and accountant are advised to master here only if the future place of work will be connected with water transport and its infrastructure. Because, in addition to the core subjects of this direction, a lot of technical ones are studied, which makes the learning process more difficult.
Well, if you dream of becoming a highly qualified engineer, like to study and are not afraid of difficulties, the VGAVT Admissions Committee is located in Nizhny Novgorod on Nesterova Street, 5.

Currently, more than 18.5 thousand people study in the educational complex. Among them are students, cadets, students of technical schools and specialists receiving a second higher education.
The quality of training specialists is determined primarily by the state of the material and technical base and the level of the teaching staff of educational institutions. The educational process in the academic complex is carried out in rooms with a total area of more than 50.5 thousand square meters. Among them are lecture halls, simulators, 34 computer labs, assembly halls, libraries, sports complexes, a river fleet museum, and other educational and administrative premises.
More than half a thousand teachers of the academy participate in the educational process, 65 percent of whom have academic degrees and titles. Note that the licensing standard is 60 percent. Among those working on programs of secondary vocational education, 57.8 percent of employees have the highest qualification category, and 34.9 percent have the first and second. Personnel training is carried out at all levels of vocational education: primary, secondary, higher and additional. At the same time, specialists are trained for the entire infrastructure of water transport, which includes the fleet, ports, ship repair enterprises, educational institutions, research institutes and other departments of the industry. Training is conducted in 36 specialties of higher vocational education (HPE) and 18 specialties of secondary vocational education (SVE). The training of qualified workers is also carried out. Thus, it was possible to maintain the system of training personnel for sea and river transport that has developed over the years.
The high quality of training of specialists at the VGAVT is ensured by the modern material and technical base, a wide range of relevant scientific research carried out by the scientists of the academy, and their active international activities. Let's illustrate this with a number of examples.
The academy has created a unique set of training simulators, which many transport universities in the country can envy. Here are the names of the simulators and their functions:
Educational planetarium u171 "Carl Zeiss" is designed to study the map of the starry sky;
The N8-2500 simulator (Vektor) is used for real-time navigation plotting;
The simulator NT Pro-4000 (Transas) allows you to gain practical skills in managing a ship in various navigation conditions;
The navigation simulator NMS-90 MK III (Norkontrol) provides conventional training for students, fleet officers under the programs of RLNP, ARPA, “Use of ship radar on inland waters and routes (VVP)”;

The Training and Simulation Center for the Prevention of Crisis Situations of a Natural and Technogenic Character (Transas Company) serves to train students and specialists under the program “Oil and oil products spill response on inland waterways”;
The attention of the leading scientists of the university is focused on solving innovative problems in relevant scientific areas of development of water transport:
Improving the organization of transportation and increasing the efficiency of transport complexes (A.G. Malyshkin, V.N. Zakharov, V.I. Kozhukhar);
Modeling of dynamic processes, control and optimization in transport systems based on new information and communication technologies (Yu.S. Fedosenko, M.I. Feigin);
Controllability of ships and ensuring the safety of navigation (A.N. Klementiev);
Development and maintenance of the transport fleet (E.P. Ronnov, S.N. Girin);
Economics and management of territorial transport complexes; development of the main directions of energy saving in transport; legal support of inland water transport (V.I. Mineev, V.I. Zhmachinsky, S.S. Podosenov);

Logistics, transport technologies and marketing (V.N. Kostrov);
Detection, repair and modernization of water transport and transport engineering facilities (A.S. Kurnikov, I.A. Volkov, A.B. Kornev);
Bifurcation theory of dynamical systems and its applications in physical systems and transport processes (V.N. Belykh);
Ship theory, applied ecology, ship and environmental engineering (V.L. Etin, V.S. Naumov). The concept of modernization of Russian education attaches great importance to vocational education and its technical component. In this regard, the actual direction of development is the creation of educational, scientific and innovative complexes (UNIC).
The first UNIC "Mechanic" was created and launched its activities. The use of such complexes makes it possible to ensure the unity of the educational, production, scientific and innovative processes. It serves to achieve a global goal - the integration of a higher education institution with the real sector of the industry's economy: with the work of shipping companies, shipyards, small businesses. It is especially important to emphasize that such an organization of work ensures the unity of the educational process, research and innovation activities at all levels of training specialists, taking into account their real needs in the industry.
The structure of the university has five faculties and 27 departments.
