Kazan National Research Technological University

Kazan National Research Technological University is one of the oldest universities in Kazan. Its history dates back to 1890. Kazan National Research Technological University springs from the Integrated Industrial College. On July 14, 1890, the Ministry of Public Education of the Russian Empire enacted the resolution to establish the Integrated Secondary Technological and Chemical Sciences College and the Lower Technical College comprising chemiсal engineering, mechanical engineering and civil engineering departments. The College had buildings for studies; premises for metal works; workshops for technical and chemical experiments; a gas plant; a power station; a residential house for Professors and employees. September 10, 1897 saw the grand opening of Kazan Industrial College. It was equipped with pilot plants for production of soda, sodium sulfate, hydrochloric acid, wood distillation, ferrous and copper sulfate, alum, soap manufacture and glue boiling. Kazan Industrial College had 17 graduations, trained 1145 specialists. In 1919, Kazan Industrial College became Kazan Polytechnic Institute with three faculties: chemistry, mechanics and economics. It was in 1930 that on the basis of Kazan Polytechnic Institute and Faculty of Chemistry of Kazan State University, Kazan State Technological Institute was founded. Since 1935 till 1992 it was called Kazan State Chemical Technological Institute named after S.M. Kirov. In 1919 it was transformed into Kazan Polytechnic Institute and it was 1930, when its chemical faculty and the chemical faculty of Kazan State University formed the basis for Kazan Chemical Technological Institute. Rapid development of institute resulted in its obtaining university status in 1992, when its official name changed to Kazan State Technological University. Versatile activities and success in various priority areas made Kazan State Technological University one of Russian centers in engineering education, research and innovations. Another milestone in the history of our university is the year 2010, when our university obtained the status of a National Research University and was renamed into Kazan National Research Technological University (KNRTU) in 2011. Today university is the largest Russian center of higher education in technology. KNRTU offers 99 training areas and specialties including 68 Bachelor’s Degree programs and 31 Master Degree Programs. Over 30 thousand students from Russia and all over the world study at the University. KNRTU incorporates 15 educational and research institutes Today university is the largest Russian center of higher education in technology. KNRTU offers over 150 training areas in Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programs. Today Kazan National Research Technological University unites activities in education, research and innovations. The University comprises 15 academic and research institutes; enrolls over 26 thousand undergraduate and graduate students from the Russian Federation and CIS countries, 900 Ph.D. and 100 Post-Doc students from Russia and other countries; employs over 300 Full Professors, Doctors of Science and over 900 Associate Professors and Ph.Ds. Kazan National Research Technological University international partnership network comprises 88 universities and research organizations from over 35 countries in Europe, America and Asia. The University is one of the 6 Russian Universities, members of Eurasia Pacific University Network (UNINET). Research at Kazan National Research Technological University is based on long-lasting traditions of excellence in chemistry and technology Kazan and Russia have been proud of the last two centuries.
