USPTU

The Ufa State Petroleum Technological University was established on the basis of the Moscow Petroleum Institute, which was evacuated to Ufa in 1941 during World War П, In 1943 the Institute returned to Moscow and a branch with 150 students was formed in Ufa. In October 1948 the branch was reorganized into the Ufa Petroleum Institute, and was later granted the status of the University in 1994.

Currently the University trains students in eight departments: Oil and Gas Mining, Technological, Economics, Automation of Production, Pipeline Transportation, Architectural and Building Engineering, Humanities and Foreign Students.

Our university provides full-time and part-time tuition. Full-time students study for 5 years. They get a grant if they do well in their exams. The so-called evening students combine their work and studies and study for 6 years. At present about 8,000 students study in 22 engineering fields, among them about 6,000 full-time students. Since 1985 the Ufa State Petroleum Technological University began teaching international students. Currently 140 foreign students from 24 countries study at the university. The academic year begins in September and ends in June. It is divided into two terms. So, the students take examinations twice a year. During the term they are to attend lectures, carry out laboratory tests and do practical work. From the second year many students start doing research.

The students have a lot of modern facilities for studies and recreation here. There are modern laboratories, large libraries, refectories, halls of residence for non-Ufa students, a student clinic and hospital, sanatorium and gyms, a swimming pool, etc.

Every year more than 1,000 people both students, and teachers, go to the sports camp "SOLUNI" for a holiday on the bank of Рavlovskoye reservoir.
