Student Life

Socialising between classes and at the end of a day is as much a part of the university life as studying. Clubs and societies are a great way for students to meet those who share their interests or enthusiasm for a particular academic subject, hobby or activity.

TSU is the place wh ere talented and active young people can explore and realise their potential by participating in extracurricular activities: 25 creative workshops, clubs, student societies, 15 sports teams, as well as various festivals, corporate events, art contests, volunteering and social events, and sport competitions. The Sharonov’s Jewelry Design School and “Formula Student TSU” projects are known worldwide.

Over its 65-year history, Togliatti State University has established many traditions: an alumni festival “Student Autumn”, a beauty contest “Miss University”, a singing  contest and festival “Singing University” and “TSU Student Spring”, sports competition “Aerobic Show”, volleyball festival, and others. One of the brightest and most impressive events is the procession of the university graduates along the central streets of the city, after the diploma awards ceremony. The Russian Student Day is celebrated on January 25 annually, when all students and professors drink mead and burn a scarecrow impersonating of all the stressed exams.

The University Centre of Physical Education and Sports offers training programmes in basketball, football, swimming, volleyball, aerobics, and athletic gymnastics. Several gyms, football fields, outdoor tracks, basketball and volleyball courts, well equipped sports centres and a swimming pool are available for both training and leisure time.
