Short description
Ural Federal University is the largest university in the Urals, a leading research and educational center in the region and one of the largest universities Russian Federation... About 35,000 "https://urfu.ru/ru/about/today/" students study there, including about 32,000 full-time students (according to this indicator, Ural Federal University is comparable only with Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and Southern Federal University). provide more than 4,000 teachers, among them more than 650 doctors of sciences and about 2,100 candidates of sciences, more than 30 members of state academies.Teaching is carried out in 64 areas of undergraduate, 26 areas of magistracy, 126 specialties of postgraduate studies and 42 specialties of doctoral studies.The university has 30 dissertation councils.
In July 2013, UrFU was included in the list of 15 universities of the Russian Federation that were eligible for additional funding as part of the competition to enter the world university rankings. ...
Until the beginning of 2013, there was a post of the president of the university, since the establishment of the post, the duties of the president were performed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Stanislav Stepanovich Naboychenko, the former rector of USTU-UPI.
History of creation
In subsequent years, the institute created (or restored) faculties: geological prospecting, mining, timber industry, mechanical. In 1929, the Faculty of Civil Engineering was created, and the chemical and metallurgical faculties were divided into chemical and metallurgical faculties. In 1930, during the reform higher education (Resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated July 23, 1930 "On the reorganization of universities, technical schools and workers' faculties") UPI was divided into 10 institutes (universities). [ ]
UPI and USU
In 1931, Sverdlovsk was restored as an independent university. state University (in 1936 he was named after A.M. Gorky, who took an active part in organizing the Ural University in 1920). On June 22, 1934, on the basis of 7 out of 10 universities, UPI was recreated, at the same time it became known as the Ural Industrial Institute (UII) (in 1934 the institute was named after S. M. Kirov).
Thus, since the mid-1930s, two independent large universities existed in Sverdlovsk. In 1945, the Sverdlovsk State University was renamed into the Ural State University named after A.M. Gorky. In turn, in 1948 Uralsky industrial university was again renamed the Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI). December 24, 1992 UPI was reorganized into the Ural State technical University (USTU) (order of the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Technical Policy of the Russian Federation of 12.24.92, No. 1133). On April 23, 2008, the Ural State Technical University was named after its graduate Boris Yeltsin [ ] .
Great Eurasian University
In the early 2000s, the administration of the Sverdlovsk region and the leadership of the two largest universities in Yekaterinburg - USTU-UPI and USU - had the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating the Big Eurasian State University (REGU) by combining technical and classical universities, as well as a number of other universities. The university's project included the construction of a university campus on the site of a forest behind Lake Maly Shartash and was included in the master plan for the development of Yekaterinburg. Despite the support of the regional leadership (E.E. Rossel), the construction of REGU was skeptically perceived in the state university, the supporters of integration were defeated in the rector elections in 2007. In December 2008, it was announced that the ROGU project was closed and that the Ural Federal University was formed on the basis of the developments made. (UrFU). The new concept is less ambitious, but supported by the RF Ministry of Education. [ ]
Establishment of the Federal University
Later (in the light of the organization of federal universities in Russia), it was decided to apply for the creation of a federal university on the basis of two universities.
Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin was founded by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation D. A. Medvedev No. 1172 dated October 21, 2009. According to the Presidential Decree, Ural Federal University was created on the basis of the state educational institution of higher professional education "Ural State Technical University - UPI named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin ".
On April 8, 2010, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Novosibirsk (at a meeting on the modernization of higher professional education in Russia) announced the appointment of the former head of the government of the Sverdlovsk region, candidate of historical sciences Viktor Koksharov to the post of rector of the Ural Federal University. The order was signed on April 9.

The same group includes, for example, the University of Shanghai, the University of Salamanca, the University of Vermont, the Belarusian State University, etc. Among all russian universities UrFU was the sixth, ahead only of Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, Moscow State Technical University, MGIMO and NSU. In 2012, UrFU retained its 451-500th place, bypassing, for example, universities such as RUDN (537th place), Higher School of Economics (542th place), Tomsk State University (580th place), Kazan Federal University (663th place). At the same time, in the QS rating, UrFU is the leader of the rating among all Russian federal universities. In 2013, in the QS ranking, UrFU was in the 501-550 group, although it remained the leader among federal universities in Russia and the second non-capital university in the top ten.
The Republican Research Scientific and Consulting Center for Expertise (FGU NII RINKTSE) included UrFU in the top five Russian universities that develop their innovative activities most effectively. According to the corresponding key indicators, UrFU took the fourth place after MSU, TSU and MGTU.

Kozlov, Advisor to the Rector V. Ilinykh, Deputy Vice-Rector K. Polovnev.
Video surveillance at lectures
As of 2017, the university conducted "security" video surveillance in 100 out of 500 classrooms. This practice has existed (according to data reported by the university spokesman in May 2017) for about three years. Since 2017, the broadcast of recordings of lectures from these cameras has begun.
Awards
University problems
As of March 2016, the UrFU rector's office included: 1 rector, 2 first vice-rectors, 3 deputy first vice-rectors, 7 vice-rectors and 10 deputy vice-rectors. Such strange positions as deputy vice-rector (in fact, deputy deputy rector) arose as a result of the merger of two universities, when new management positions had to be created for the former vice-rectors. For example, the vice-rector of USU for scientific work A.O. Ivanov became Deputy Vice-Rector for Science at UrFU. At the end of 2015, out of 9187 rates of employees in UrFU, 1292 rates related to administrative and management personnel. Thus, the administrative apparatus made up about 14% of the university employees. There were almost half the number of researchers at the university - 670 rates at the end of 2015.
At the beginning of 2015, the salary for a teacher with an academic degree was set at about 14.5 thousand rubles. At the same time, the real salaries of professors with all the allowances did not differ much from the low salaries. In September 2015, the university pays only 12 thousand rubles a month for half the rate of a professor with a doctorate degree. In September 2015, it was decided to reduce these salaries by transferring some of the teachers to one-eighth of the rate (a professor with such a load receives about 3 thousand rubles) for which the teachers were offered to change their employment contracts. At the same time, the university applied the method of calculating the load, where 159 hours teaching load per year for a professor - this is one-eighth of the teaching load per class (900 hours per year). Young associate professor, candidate of sciences A.V. Ladygin earned 232.5 thousand rubles from UrFU in 2015, that is, on average, less than 20 thousand rubles. per month . The Rector of UrFU in 2014 earned 11.845 million rubles. In 2015, the rector's income has already exceeded 12.8 million rubles.
In 2015, the associate professor of UrFU was sentenced to 3.5 years in a general regime colony with a fine for taking bribes in the period from 2012 to 2013 for a total amount of 50 thousand rubles, which she took for putting off tests without a knowledge test. According to the court decision, one of the vice-rectors for educational work of UrFU filed a complaint against her with law enforcement agencies. On appeal, the Sverdlovsk Regional Court reduced the sentence to a fine and reclassified her actions for fraud.
In October 2017, the Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Olga Vasilyeva stated that the Ural Federal University does not meet ministerial ideas about efficiency.
The largest higher educational institution in the Urals at the moment is This university is named after Boris N. Yeltsin, who went down in history as the first President of Russia.

Short description
Ural Federal University is the largest university in the Urals, a leading research and educational center in the region and one of the largest universities in the Russian Federation. About 35,000 "https://urfu.ru/ru/about/today/" students study there, including about 32,000 full-time students (according to this indicator, Ural Federal University is comparable only with Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and Southern Federal University). provide more than 4,000 teachers, among them more than 650 doctors of sciences and about 2,100 candidates of sciences, more than 30 members of state academies.Teaching is carried out in 64 areas of undergraduate, 26 areas of magistracy, 126 specialties of postgraduate studies and 42 specialties of doctoral studies.The university has 30 dissertation councils.
In July 2013, UrFU was included in the list of 15 universities of the Russian Federation that were eligible for additional funding as part of the competition to enter the world university rankings. ...
Until the beginning of 2013, there was a post of the president of the university, since the establishment of the post, the duties of the president were performed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Stanislav Stepanovich Naboychenko, the former rector of USTU-UPI.
History of creation
In subsequent years, the institute created (or restored) faculties: geological prospecting, mining, timber industry, mechanical. In 1929, the Faculty of Civil Engineering was created, and the chemical and metallurgical faculties were divided into chemical and metallurgical departments. In 1930, during the reform of higher education (Resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of July 23, 1930 "On the reorganization of universities, technical schools and workers' faculties") UPI was divided into 10 institutes (universities). [ ]
UPI and USU
In 1931, the Sverdlovsk State University was restored as an independent university (in 1936 it was named after A.M. Gorky, who took an active part in the organization of Ural University in 1920). On June 22, 1934, UPI was recreated on the basis of 7 out of 10 universities, at the same time it became known as the Ural Industrial Institute (UII) (in 1934 the institute was named after S. M. Kirov).
Thus, since the mid-1930s, two independent large universities existed in Sverdlovsk. In 1945, the Sverdlovsk State University was renamed into the Ural State University named after A.M. Gorky. In turn, in 1948 the Ural Industrial University was again renamed the Ural Polytechnic Institute (UPI). December 24, 1992 UPI was reorganized into the Ural State Technical University (USTU) (order of the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Technical Policy of the Russian Federation of 12.24.92 g No. 1133). On April 23, 2008, the Ural State Technical University was named after its graduate Boris Yeltsin [ ] .
Great Eurasian University
In the early 2000s, the administration of the Sverdlovsk region and the leadership of the two largest universities in Yekaterinburg - USTU-UPI and USU - had the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating the Big Eurasian State University (REGU) by combining technical and classical universities, as well as a number of other universities. The university's project included the construction of a university campus on the site of a forest behind Lake Maly Shartash and was included in the master plan for the development of Yekaterinburg. Despite the support of the regional leadership (E.E. Rossel), the construction of REGU was skeptically perceived in the state university, the supporters of integration were defeated in the rector elections in 2007. In December 2008, it was announced that the ROGU project was closed and that the Ural Federal University was formed on the basis of the developments made. (UrFU). The new concept is less ambitious, but supported by the RF Ministry of Education. [ ]
Establishment of the Federal University
Later (in the light of the organization of federal universities in Russia), it was decided to apply for the creation of a federal university on the basis of two universities.
Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin was founded by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation D. A. Medvedev No. 1172 dated October 21, 2009. According to the Presidential Decree, Ural Federal University was created on the basis of the state educational institution of higher professional education "Ural State Technical University - UPI named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin ".
On April 8, 2010, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Novosibirsk (at a meeting on the modernization of higher professional education in Russia) announced the appointment of the former head of the government of the Sverdlovsk region, candidate of historical sciences Viktor Koksharov to the post of rector of the Ural Federal University. The order was signed on April 9.

UrFU and UMMC Technical University
The Ural Federal University played a significant role in the creation of the only private technical university in Russia - the UMMC Technical University. In the summer of 2013, at the Innoprom-2013 exhibition, an agreement was signed between UMMC and UrFU on the creation of a special department “Metallurgy” for the new university. In addition, the Ural Federal University allocated 176 million rubles for the creation of this university, opened in September of the same year. On September 2, 2014, a Research Center was opened at the UMMC Technical University. The close connection of the two universities is expressed in the fact that the functioning of the center is supported by the Department of UrFU “Metallurgy” created in 2013 (headed by the director of the Institute of Materials Science and Metallurgy of the Ural Federal University, Doctor of Technical Sciences V.A. UrFU purchased special scientific equipment, spending 171 million rubles on it, and UMMC allocated 200 million rubles. for the construction and equipping of a 4-storey building.
Position in ratings
Currently, in many ratings of UrFU (USTU-UPI) and Ural State University named after Gorky is still counted as separate universities. The exception is, in particular, the world ranking QS World University Rankings. In 2011, the Ural Federal University ranks 451-500 in the QS ranking, that is, it is included in the Top-500 (in total, the positions of 712 world universities are taken into account). The same group includes, for example, Shanghai University, the University of Salamanca, the University of Vermont, the Belarusian State University, etc. Among all Russian universities, UrFU is the sixth, ahead only of Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, Moscow State Technical University, MGIMO and NSU. In 2012, UrFU retained its 451-500 place, bypassing, for example, universities such as PFUR (537 place), Higher School of Economics (542 place), Tomsk State University (580 place), Kazan Federal University (663 place). At the same time, in the QS rating, UrFU is the leader among all Russian federal universities. In 2013, in the QS ranking, UrFU was in the 501-550 group, although it remained the leader among federal universities in Russia and the second non-capital university in the top ten.
The Republican Research Scientific and Consulting Center for Expertise (FGU NII RINKTSE) included UrFU in the top five Russian universities that develop their innovative activities most effectively. According to the corresponding key indicators, UrFU took the fourth place after MSU, TSU and MGTU. According to NII RINKTSE, UrFU in 2010 produced works and services for 14.6 million rubles and products for 17.7 million rubles. At Moscow State University, the same figures were 1.04 million and 5 billion, respectively, at TSU - 1.08 billion and 214 million rubles, at MSTU - 1.8 billion and 1.7 million rubles. At the same time, in terms of the number of projects being implemented (101 and 134, respectively), UrFU approached TSU and bypassed Moscow State University and MGTU (96 and 3, respectively). At the same time, UrFU received 34.3 million rubles from the state budget in 2010 for the development of innovative infrastructure, while Moscow and Tomsk universities - 42.9 million rubles each.
In 2015, the university lost its position in the QS World University Ranking. UrFU shares the line from 601-650 with other universities, while a year earlier it was at 551 positions. In addition to the QS ranking, there is the Shanghai ranking, in which Ural Federal University occupies 901 place. In the ranking of universities in the BRICS countries, the educational institution is on the 77th line, and in the ranking of higher educational institutions in Russia it is on the 13th line [ ] .
UrFU and FSB
In 2016, the Ural Federal University published documents from which it follows that the university has divisions, the heads of which are appointed to positions only by agreement with the FSB. According to media reports, many current and former employees of the FSB and their relatives as of 2016 held positions in the rector's office of UrFU: Vice-Rector for General Issues V. Kozlov, Advisor to the Rector V. Ilinykh, Deputy Vice-Rector K. Polovnev.
Video surveillance at lectures
As of 2017, the university conducted "security" video surveillance in 100 out of 500 classrooms. This practice has existed (according to data reported by the university spokesman in May 2017) for about three years. Since 2017, the broadcast of recordings of lectures from these cameras has begun.
Awards
University problems
As of March 2016, the UrFU rector's office included: 1 rector, 2 first vice-rectors, 3 deputy first vice-rectors, 7 vice-rectors and 10 deputy vice-rectors. Such strange positions as deputy vice-rector (in fact, deputy deputy rector) arose as a result of the merger of two universities, when new management positions had to be created for the former vice-rectors. For example, AO Ivanov, the vice-rector of the Ural State University for scientific work, became the deputy vice-rector for science at UrFU. At the end of 2015, out of 9187 rates of employees in UrFU, 1292 rates were related to administrative and managerial personnel. Thus, the administrative apparatus made up about 14% of the university employees. There were almost half the number of researchers at the university - 670 rates at the end of 2015.
At the beginning of 2015, the salary for a teacher with an academic degree was set at about 14.5 thousand rubles. At the same time, the real salaries of professors with all the allowances did not differ much from the low salaries. In September 2015, the university pays only 12 thousand rubles a month for half the rate of a professor with a doctorate degree. In September 2015, it was decided to reduce these salaries by transferring some of the teachers to one-eighth of the rate (a professor with such a load receives about 3 thousand rubles), for which the teachers were offered to change their employment contracts. At the same time, the university applied the method of calculating the load, where 159 hours of teaching load per year for a professor is one-eighth of the teaching load per class (900 hours per year). Young associate professor, candidate of sciences A.V. Ladygin earned 232.5 thousand rubles from UrFU in 2015, that is, on average, less than 20 thousand rubles. per month . The Rector of UrFU in 2014 earned 11.845 million rubles. In 2015, the rector's income has already exceeded 12.8 million rubles.
In 2015, the associate professor of UrFU was sentenced to 3.5 years in a general regime colony with a fine for taking bribes in the period from 2012 to 2013 for a total amount of 50 thousand rubles, which she took for putting off tests without a knowledge test. According to the court decision, one of the vice-rectors for educational work of UrFU filed a complaint against her with law enforcement agencies. On appeal, the Sverdlovsk Regional Court reduced the sentence to a fine and reclassified her actions for fraud.
In October 2017, the Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Olga Vasilyeva stated that the Ural Federal University does not meet ministerial ideas about efficiency.
