Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University

Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University (Minin University) is one of the oldest pedagogical universities in Russia, the traditions of which originate from the beginning of the XX century. Today, our university is an educational platform for more than ten thousand students from more than half of Russia and nearly 30 countries around the world. 

Minin University is not only about pedagogy and psychology. We educate future professionals at six departments in more than 150 educational programs, including both humanitarian and engineering profiles. 

We have implemented an advanced student quality rating system, allowing each Minin student to start forming their portfolio —  a summary comprising all the achievements obtained during the study —  already from the first year. Given the high level of academic training, deep involvement of students in pedagogical and practical training, we allow graduates to come into a great demand in the labour market. 

We highly appreciate and support our students in need: a developed system of social sustenance for students includes classic and personal scholarships, grants and incentive payments. Studying at Minin University is not only interesting, but also profitable!
