Dear friends,
We are glad to greet you on behalf of Ukhta State Technical University!

The city of Ukhta is built on the legacy of the most outstanding minds of the country, who were gathered long ago on the banks of the taiga river against their will. Although our town – the industrial center of the Komi republic – was founded as a part of the gulag system, the air of freedom and thirst for knowledge became a strong basis for the development of a modern, cosmopolitan, vibrant town.

In the process of transformation from “repressed Ukhta ” to “University town” a lot of important events in the development of the Komi region took place. Nowadays the region has huge scientific and educational potential, in which USTU holds the first place as the symbol of abundance, traditions and innovation.

USTU (including branches in Vorkuta, Usinsk and Syktyvkar), with its combination of faculties, departments and university-wide workplaces, is an institution of higher education with a strong focus on the development of technological disciplines on the one hand and with a rapidly developing humanitarian component on the other.

In addition to its laboratories for scientific research, USTU can also boast of a host of successful internship programs through our close cooperation with industrial companies, thus enabling the results of research to be applied immediately in practice.

Also due to years of productive cooperation with our partners, students have the opportunity to study in such educational institutions as Bodo University College (Norway), Oulu University of Applied Sciences (Finland), Liaoning Shiahua University (China), INHA University (Korea), The Language School of Malta (Malta), Hochschule Regensburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), the University of Belgrade, and many others. Such international student and scholar exchange programs with different countries promote the development and quality of our educational programs.

Our whole philosophy at USTU is centered on the student experience in all aspects, and we aim to build on our current successes.
