Years of history
This University is one of the leading higher schools in the north of Russia. It has a reputation for academic excellence and attracts students and researchers from all parts of the country and abroad.
The story started in April, 1958, when Moscow's Gubkin Institute of Petrochemicals and Natural Gas opened an educational support centre in Ukhta. The Institute helped with the library and teaching materials. The training system included a combination of professional correspondence courses and on-the-job experience.
The development of oil and gas industries demanded more qualified specialists. As a result, the educational support centre became Ukhta
-
Industrial Institute in March, 1967. The first Rector was Grigory Panov (1929-1988). There were three faculties: Oil and Gas, Forestry and the faculty for evening and correspondence students. In 1969, there were only six graduates, but already in 1972, two hundred and seventy-four skilled engineers graduated from the institute. At that time the institute had five faculties and twenty departments.
The number of students and the range of specialities grew every year. In April, 1999 the institute achieved university status. It was renamed Ukhta State Technical University. Now it’s a modern research and education complex and has great scientific potential.
