History of University

Its origin is in 1953. It was then that the Ministry of Culture of the USSR decided to open a higher educational institution in the Prikamye. In the early years Perm State Technical University (PSTU) was called the Mining Institute. He was supposed to provide the region with engineers who specialized in the coal industry. First, the school had neither its own building nor hostels. Classes were held in a construction college, where a small area was rented. The construction of its own building began only in 1955 on October Square. The main specialization of the university was mining.

In 1960 the institute was merged with several other educational institutions of the Kama region. Among them, for example, was the Technical Faculty of Perm State University. Also, the Machine-Building Institute was attached to it. In the same decade, new faculties began to open, which taught students the building, architecture, chemistry. In the 70 years the Institute was actively growing. After Kama began the construction of a huge student complex, which, in fact, has become a new urban neighborhood. Its construction was completed only in 1989. In 1992, the institution was named Perm State Technical University. It was under this name that he became famous not only on the territory of Russia, but also abroad.
