Chernihiv National Technological University is one of the significant higher educational institutions not only in the region, but also on the scale of Ukraine. Basically, the university provides training in specialties related to engineering and finance.
The city of Chernihiv is the administrative center of the region, therefore students from the entire region study at this university. In this article, we will talk about the history of CNTU, the existing faculties, and other interesting facts about the university.
History of University
The university began its activities in the 60s of the last century. Moreover, at first it was a general technical faculty, which was part of the Polytechnic Institute of the city of Kiev, but the location was the city of Chernihiv.
175 students entered the first year in the distant 1960, and there were no more than twenty teachers. The post of dean of the general technical faculty belonged to Yevgeny Grigoryevich Kalita.
The production facilities of the region and the activities of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute contributed to the creation of classrooms and laboratory facilities necessary for full training. The faculty was given the building of the Governor's House. This building was considered historical monuments; its area reached 1.5 thousand square meters. At that time, they began to build a new educational building and student dormitory.
For the first time, a full-time flow in three directions was recruited from 1962 to 1963. The total number of students reached 150. In 1965, in accordance with a ministerial order, a branch of the KPI in Chernigov was organized, which officially included three faculties: general engineering, technology and mechanics. The post of director also went to Kalita E. G. Already from 1966 to 1967, the branch trained more than one thousand students.
Chernihiv Technological Institute was established only in 1991, according to a ministerial decree. The post of rector was entrusted to Alexander Ivanovich Denisov. In its walls the institute in the same year accepted about 500 students, and already from 1991 to 1992 - about 2 thousand people.
1994 was a watershed for the institution. Higher education institutions have become increasingly difficult to survive because of the difficult financial situation in the transition phase after the collapse of the USSR and the formation of an independent Ukrainian state. Then it was decided to create the Faculty of Engineering and Economics. 1994 was a turning point for the university, so then it received a license and accreditation (today this institution has a 4th level of accreditation).
The July days of 1999 brought the institute a new status, namely the Chernihiv State Technological University. Later, after twelve years, another university joined him. It was an institute of law and social technologies of the city of Chernigov (a few years later, in 2014 it was named the Educational and Scientific Institute of Law and Social Technologies).
Only in 2013 did it become a national university. Thus, today its name sounds as follows: Chernihiv National Technological University (CNTU). In 2014, the Institute of Economics and Management was attached to it, and the structure of the educational institution again changed slightly.
