The organization and implementation of the educational work of the Department are carried out in the following areas:

1. Civil and patriotic, spiritual and moral education. While studying at the University, young people go through a very important stage of socialization, development of patriotism, shaping of values. Curators raise students’ cultural level by organizing visits to theaters, cinemas and museums; they conduct and participate in the activities of historical, patriotic and ethical education. Subsequent joint discussions of such visits and activities are also very important.

2. Students' research activities. This is a priority area of the educational work at the Department, as it helps students acquire the skills of scientific work, develop creative thinking, gain the experience of scientific work within the scientific school of the Department or Faculty. Thus, a student engaged in the scientific and research work has good chances of becoming a highly qualified specialist. The students of years 2-4 take an active part in scientific life of the Department, publish abstracts and research papers, participate in conferences and seminars.

3. Cultural and creative activities. The Department organizes and provides support to students participating in amateur performance, national, regional, inter-university competitions, meetings, forums, festivals, exhibitions, etc.
