The Academy is committed not only to providing knowledge across all disciplines but also to helping students reveal their talents and develop into well-rounded, culturally enlightened individuals. To this end, a student club was established back in the Soviet years at the Buryat Agricultural Institute, which evolved into the Centre for Aesthetic Education in February 2008.
The Centre for Aesthetic Education (CAE) is the heart of all creative life at the Academy. Its structure includes departments for folk arts, pop performance, and theatre, as well as a division for creative initiatives and associations, and a recording studio. The Centre organizes and runs traditional academic events, festivals, and competitions such as "Debut," "Starfall," the KVN (Club of the Funny and Inventive) Cup, "Student Spring," holiday concerts for veterans and faculty, "Surkharban," recitation contests, and more. It also supports student initiatives in various youth challenges, forums, and online projects. The Centre represents the Academy and the Republic at numerous forums, festivals, and competitions.
Key Objectives of the CAE:
- Cultivating a rich sociocultural and aesthetic environment within the university.
- Fostering a spirit of patriotism among the student body.
- Supporting and promoting socially significant student initiatives.
- Creating conditions for students to realize their creative potential.
- Preserving and enhancing moral and cultural achievements.
- Maintaining and developing the tradition of student creative festivals, competitions, and forums.
- Raising the artistic standards of student groups and individual performers.
- Identifying talented performers.
- Organizing student leisure activities.
- Building creative connections between the faculties and institutes of the Academy.
