The history of Ivanovo State Polytechnic University began in 2012 with the combination of the accumulated experience and traditions of two universities - IGASU and IGTA, whose total age has exceeded one and a half centuries. Improving the competitiveness and quality of education is the course, the unchanged and main goal of the renovated university, and improving resource provision, building up human and scientific potential, maximum turn towards the real sector of the economy and the regional employer have become key drivers of its growth. And the university demonstrates a steady growth of its positions, as evidenced by the results of the annual ministerial monitoring of the effectiveness of universities and authoritative rankings. IVGPU is already successfully implementing a system of continuous and multi-level education.
Along with traditional programs for training personnel with higher education, the university, the only one in the region, offers its applicants unusual for classical universities areas of professional training for highly demanded skilled workers and employees, mid-level specialists. The doors of postgraduate studies are open for graduate students who dream of a scientific career. Existing specialists are waiting for more than two dozen programs for advanced training and professional retraining.
As an independent educational institution, it appeared relatively recently, in 2012. This happened as a result of the merger of the two largest universities in the region, which gave a very tangible result - the quality of education in the region has increased significantly.
History: IGASU
Ivanovo state poly Technical University was created as a result of the merger of the local University of Architecture and Civil Engineering and the Textile Academy. It is noteworthy that the university was opened only in 1981, but even this time was enough to prepare a large number of qualified specialists. Over its long history, the university has managed to form a whole program for the training of technical and engineering personnel.
IGASU, having become a part of IvGPU, "took" with it the system of education in the field of architecture and construction, which includes retraining of personnel, further vocational education, non-governmental education, higher professional education, secondary professional education and a number of other components. Previously, there was also a college at IGASU, where annually 1000 students received education under the programs of NGO and SVE. Every year, the university carried out a large amount of research work, research was carried out in the amount of 20 million rubles or more.
History: IGTA
The Polytechnic University (Ivanovo) consists of another component: the Ivanovo State Textile Academy, which was established in 1932 and was called the Textile Institute. Later there was a renaming of the institution, which in its history has managed to turn into a huge educational and scientific base for textile design and the fashion industry.
Before merging into a single university, almost 9 thousand students studied at the academy, there were 6 faculties and 23 areas of training. For out-of-town students, places were provided in dormitories in the amount of 1300 places. It was here that a quality management system that meets international standards was formed. The Academy had a large number of connections with textile centers and factories in Europe and the former CIS.
IVSPU now
Ivanovo State Polytechnic University now consists of 8 internal institutes, each of which is subdivided into corresponding departments. Each of the institutes employs professional teachers who strive to put as much theoretical and practical knowledge. The modern material base, which is updated annually, allows us to hope that students will receive maximum new knowledge from their teachers.
The university continues to support all those projects that were previously carried out by two universities, this also applies to the work of the system for the training of engineering personnel, and international relations with textile enterprises around the world. In the future plans of the university - an increase in the number of institutes, therefore, the number of places for students will also increase. Much attention is paid to those students who apply for budget places.
