Tver Technical University is one of the biggest higher schools in our country. Tver Technical University was established in 1922 as Moscow Peat Institute. In 1958 it was transferred to Kalinin. In 1965 Peat Institute was reorganized into polytechnic. In 1994 it was renamed into Tver State Technical University.

Every year highly-qualified specialists for national economy graduate from the University. They are chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, economists, ecologists, managers, systems engineers and many others.

Education at the University is organized in two forms: full-time and extra-mural. There are also some part-time courses. The University has six departments for full-time students. They are ma­chine-building, civil-engineering, automated systems, nature management and engineering ecology, of Humanities and additional professional education. The course is divided into several stages. The first and second year students study general engineering subjects (mathematics, physics, descriptive geometry) and some humanities (history, philosophy, foreign languages). That gives a solid basis of general education to future specialists. Special subjects are taught in senior courses. Much attention is paid to practical instruction. During the final term undergraduates carry out their graduation projects. They defend them to an examination board and become graduates. At the end of the university course they receive graduation diplomas and go to work to different branches of engineering.

About 5000 students study at Tver Technical University. The University consists of six studying buildings and several dormitories. The class-rooms and lecture-halls, laboratories and workshops are equipped with up-to-date instruments, computers, machine-tools, audio-visuals and other training appliances. There is a rich library, four reading-rooms, dining halls and a sports complex at the disposal of students. So the University has all the facilities necessary for successful studies and rest.

Besides regular studies many students carry out scientific research work under the guidance of their experienced teachers and professors. At the university there is a post-graduate course and a preparatory department for foreign students.
