My University






I'm a student of The Ufa State Petroleum Technological University. It is one of the largest educational institutions in the Russian Federation. It was founded in 1948 as the Ufa Oil Institute and in 1993 it was elevated to university status. But it should be noted that the institute was formed not at once. It has an interesting and instructive historical background typical of many institutes born in the eastern parts of our country during post-war time.

In severe years of 1941 all Moscow institutes were being evacuated to the Urals, Siberia and Central Asia. The Moscow Oil Institute was evacuated to Bashkiria. By January 1942, students and their professors in small groups reached at last Chernikovka where the Institute was evacuated. It was housed in a two-storied building in Ulyanov Street, 45. They lived in terrible living conditions but in spite of all these hardships the institute continued its functioning, the lectures being delivered for ten hours a day.

In November 1943 the Institute returned to Moscow leaving its branch in Ufa. There were 150 students left in Ufa. They studied here for two years and then were transferred to Moscow to complete their education.



| The Ufa branch of the Moscow Oil Institute existed from 1943 to 1948. There were only three faculties at that time.

In autumn, 1948 it became independent and was named the Ufa Oil Institute.

Nowadays it trains above 14000 students not only from Russia but also from the Independent States of the former Soviet Union, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Training of foreign students at USPTU is carried out since 1986. During this period more than 300 specialists from more than 30 countries of the world received diplomas of USPTU.

The University has seven faculties which train highly-skilled specialists. They are:

1. Oil and Gas Mining;

2. Pipeline Transportation;

3. Economics and Management;

4. Chemical Technology and Biotechnology;

5. Architecture and Building Engineering;

6. Geology and Geophysics;

7. Humanities;

8. Automation.

The academic year at the University is subdivided into a winter semester (from September to January) and a summer one (from February to June). Each semester ends with examinations. There are many well-equipped laboratories and workshops with modern apparatus and instruments in the University to provide high level of training. Here students carry out investigations, make experiments and develop devices. The experienced teachers help them in their research. Students have a large well-stocked library and reading halls at their disposal.

The University is in close connection with oil industry and students have practical training at the refineries, oil fields and other industrial enterprises of our country. On graduating from the University some of the best students remain for 3 years more to do post­graduate work but the rest are assigned to jobs at the research institutes, pipe-line construction sites, refineries, oil fields and other places.

Social life of the University is characterized by the existence of a large number of students' societies and clubs.

Our university has 3 branches in Oktyabrsk, Salavat and Sterlitamak.
