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 Polytechnic University was created as a result of the combination 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 train 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, becoming a part of IvGPU, "took" with itself the education system in the field of architecture and construction, which includes retraining of personnel, additional vocational education, NGOs, higher education, secondary vocational 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 NGOs and SVE. Every year the university carried out a large volume of research work, surveys were carried out for an 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, the institution was renamed, which in its history of existence managed to turn into a huge educational and scientific base of textile design and fashion industry.
Before merging into a single university, the academy trained almost 9 thousand students, there were 6 faculties and 23 areas of training. For nonresident students, places were provided in hostels 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.
IvGPU 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 as possible in the heads of their students. 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 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. The future plans of the university are to increase 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.
Chairs
IvGPU, whose departments are increasing from year to year, is now one of the most demanded universities in the region. The departments that belong to the Institute of Transport and Technology are very popular: highways, motor vehicles and automobiles, safety and traffic management. Every year, this institute receives the largest number of applicants who wish to obtain higher education in this field.
The departments that belong to the textile institute and the institute of design are also popular with applicants. Most often, girls go there who dream not only to create new clothes, but also to demonstrate them in the future on the catwalks. The university provides them with such an opportunity; within the university, competitions of models and models are constantly held, as well as mini fashion shows, which demonstrate the latest models.
Faculties
The faculties of IvSPU are not so numerous, however, high-quality education is also provided there. The faculty of commercial training is one of the most demanded areas in training, its graduates can get jobs in the financial sector, while they learn the skill of considering production facilities from the point of view of commerce. Thanks to this approach, they manage to bring enterprises in a difficult financial situation out of the crisis in the shortest possible time.
The Faculty of Mechanics and Automation is another highly demanded direction that is in demand among applicants. All students of this faculty study technological machines, ground vehicles, automation, radio electronics and other equipment. Thanks to this, after receiving a diploma, they are broad-based specialists and can count on a paid job.
