One thing remains unchangeable is high quality of knowledge, which students get at the faculty that is a result of combined creative efforts of lectures and students. The faculty was founded in 1993, since the second year of NCSI establishment. Initially Dr. Serebryakova Svetlana Vasilevna., associate professor headed the chair of foreign languages in 1992, which realized general education programmes in foreign languages at all faculties. The first admission of students candidates was carried out in 1993.

The history of the Institute demonstrates stability, growth of prestige and authority of faculty at the market of educational services of town and region.

Our students are distinguished by their creative character and creative thinking, as learning foreign languages means professional acquaintance with culture, history, mentality and international traditions, that is with lingvo-cultural continuum of countries of studying languages. The outstanding German poet I.V.Gete marked: "Who doesn't know foreign languages, knows nothing about his own one". While studying foreign languages, our students get a chance to live the life of that nation and that country which language they chose to be their future profession.

It is quate a usual way to speak about teachers and students connecting with foreign languages, as about "Englishmen", "Germen", "French" emphasizing their professional prestige as experts, specialists and mediatirs of a given culture. The significant part of our educational paradigm is intercultural communication, the main components of which are not only profound knowledge, but also deep understanding and primarily tolerance towards other culture.
