The history of the Orenburg State University

 

Orenburg State University is situated in one of the most amazing cities of Russia. During the reign of the empress Anne (1730-1740) the city was conceived as "a window to Asia", and located at the cross-roads of trade routes between Europe and Asia. There is a geographic boundary between Europe and Asia.

The history of the Orenburg Region is interesting and unique. It is a thriving, ethnically diverse community of over two million people. Orenburg offers numerous places of interest such as museums, theaters, restaurants, parks, etc.

One of the youngest and most dynamically developing universities of Russia Orenburg State University is situated in the Orenburg Region.

In 1955 Kuybishevs Industrial Institute opened its evening department in Orenburg with the first enrolment of 100 students. The department offered only two degree courses: "Mechanical engineering technology, metal-cutting technology and equipment" and "Electric power supply of industrial and technological complexes".

In 1965 students were offered day-time courses.

In 1971 Orenburg branch of Kuybishevs Polytechnic Institute got the status of Orenburg Polytechnic Institute.

In 1994 Orenburg Polytechnic Institute became Orenburg State Technical University.

In 1996 Orenburg State Technical University got the status of Orenburg State University on January, 25.

Since 1996 Saint Tatianas day (25th of January) has been celebrated as OSUs Foundation Day.Saint Tatiana's Day starts with a public prayer at the Chapel of Saint Tatiana. Then OSU Rector gives a briefing to the regional and city mass media about the events that took place at OSU during the previous year. The second half of the day is devoted to the ceremonial meeting of the OSU Academic Council. To crown it all a gala concert is arranged by the Students' Center "Russia" with deans, faculty members and students participation.
