Ivanovo State Polytechnic University, as an independent educational institution, 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 grown significantly.
History: IGASU
Ivanovo State Polytechnic University was created by combining 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 managed to form a whole program for the training of technical and engineering personnel.
IGASU, becoming part of IvGPU, “took” with it a system of education in the field of architecture and construction, which includes retraining of personnel, additional professional education, NGOs, higher professional education, secondary vocational education, and a number of other components. Previously, there was also a college at IGASU, where annually 1000 students were educated under the programs of NGOs and STRs. Each year, the university performed a large amount of research work, surveys were conducted in the amount of 20 million rubles or more.
History: IGTA
Polytechnic University (Ivanovo) consists of one more component: Ivanovo State Textile Academy, which was created in 1932 and was called the Textile Institute. Later, the institution was renamed, which over its history of existence has managed to turn into a huge educational and scientific base for textile design and the fashion industry.
Before joining a single university, almost 9 thousand students studied at the academy, there were 6 faculties and 23 areas of training. For nonresident students were provided places in dormitories in the amount of 1300 places. It was here that a quality management system was formed that meets international standards. The Academy had a large number of ties with textile centers and factories in Europe and the former CIS.
Ivppu 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 educators who strive to put as much theoretical and practical knowledge into the heads of their students as possible. The modern material base, which is updated annually, allows us to hope that students will receive a maximum of new knowledge from their teachers.
The university continues to support all those projects that were previously conducted by two universities, this also applies to the work of the system for training 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 increase.
