Federal University named after the first president. Ural Federal University
The building is located in the center of Yekaterinburg - opposite the Opera and Ballet Theatre, it is convenient to get there from anywhere in the city. There are many cafes, canteens, etc. nearby. True, all of them during the break (the big break from 13.50 to 14.30 - 40 minutes) are full of students, and it is often difficult to find a place or you have to stand in line for a long time, but nevertheless.
I am a 2nd year student on a budget form of education.
As for studying at the university:
Pros (regarding only my faculty):
- Highly qualified teachers
- Presence of media audiences
- Good repair (offices, restrooms, main hall)
- Cleanliness at the faculty (the floors are constantly washed and cleaned, and this does not bring any inconvenience)
- Availability of many scientific, artistic, etc. publications (subscription to the library, an incredibly convenient and cozy reading room with many sections and separate zones, equipped with computers with Internet access)
- There are also separate libraries: history room, art history room, rare books department, etc.
- Temperature in the building: always warm. We don't wear jackets in winter, but in summer we can air the classrooms. Comfortable.
- The presence of two guarded wardrobes
- No bribes (I think that it should be written in pluses, because I see that many universities have such a problem). Never paid for an appraisal and no one ever asked for it.
- I consider it a HUGE ADVANTAGE that for almost 2 years while I am studying here, I have never heard that any of the teachers, methodologists, assistants or other workers not only insulted me or someone else, but even voices never did not raise! At the faculty, everyone treats each other with respect and warmth, and will always help with advice (for which special thanks to the inspector of the dean's office C.A.E., who has incredible patience, endurance and a big sympathetic heart!)
- ANOTHER IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE I consider the existing mentoring system: senior students help first-year students to get used to the university. A freshman who has come from school to university looks, as a rule, frightened, at least he is nervous for sure. The mentor helps him in everything: introduces him to the group, explains where the classrooms are, the restrooms, how to get to the library, how to find a teacher, what to do if he lost his student ID and many other things, and most importantly, the freshman sees a person next to him who has already gone through everything it, and therefore, experiences much less stress. I had mentors who were very helpful. And this year I myself am a mentor and still support my freshmen.
Minuses:
- The point-rating system by which we study (this means that all your work and answers will be evaluated by points; the system does not always work properly, but, as a rule, all shortcomings are solved, and no problems arise in the end, but this It takes away nerves and tires.In addition, in such a system, the student's motivation is often not knowledge, but getting a high score)
- Dining room: long queues, sometimes you don’t have time for a couple because of this. Therefore, most of the students in our stream bring yogurt, apples, candy bars, etc. to the university with them.
- The building in which physical education takes place is not in building No. 1, and not even nearby, but close to the building on the street. Mira (i.e. go 6 stops, almost in a straight line, but you still need to go).
General information: since last year, physical education has been separate, in sections. Those. there is an opportunity to do athletics, swimming, fitness, health-improving physical (those who have health problems) (there are about 30 sections in total, if I'm not mistaken). But not always (and even often) you get to the wrong place. But in principle, everyone gets used to it over time.
I can say that I am generally very satisfied with the university. Our faculty has a Center Modern Culture where various exhibitions are organized (including by the students themselves). It is interesting! And it is very nice to see such an environment around you.
WHAT ABOUT HOSTELS.
I don't live in a dorm myself.
But two of my classmates are not local. They live in a hostel, no one kicks them out. They had to fill out some documents for renewal (I know all this, because the headman), everything was legal.

A series of scandals, after which there were rumors of Koksharov's resignation, was associated with a number of lectures, including the author of the election program of the oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, a liberal intellectual, the editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, the EU ambassador in Moscow and the head of the German Foreign Ministry. The main message: Russia may be a good country, but unsuitable for the development of new technologies, should not be independent, should abandon its imperial ambitions away, and at the same time return Crimea to Ukraine. Such a series of anti-Russian lectures was outraged by the Ural social activists, who spoke about this situation at the ONF conference in Moscow.
“As a citizen, I am against the filter of topics and speakers at discussion platforms, including at state universities. But when one after another there are speeches against the President of Russia, for the Ukrainian junta, and there are no alternative speakers, this is wrong. Everything is simple: different points vision should be presented so that young people can assess the quality of the presentation of one or another historical fact.In a state university, a tilt to one side is strictly unacceptable, because, excuse me, these universities are supported by budget funds", - said in an interview with Nakanune.RU co-chairman of the Central Headquarters of the ONF, secretary of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexander Brechalov.
Another public figure Iosif Diskin, Chairman of the Commission for the Harmonization of Interethnic and Interreligious Relations of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation noted that the decision on the fact of holding anti-Russian lectures in UrFU - " this is the business of the academic council of the corresponding university, this is their principled position".
After a wave of criticism of the university and the rector from the media, public figures, including from Moscow, it seemed that the situation began to improve - Viktor Koksharov invited the main "Afghan" of the country and an active participant in the patriotic movement Franz Klintsevich to read regular lectures, announced a number of events in in preparation for the 70th anniversary of the Victory, as well as a real boost of patriotism among students. However, after a short time at the university, they again sounded that. Some observers suggest that such a "swing" was associated with the uncertainty in the fate of the rector, and the return to liberal propaganda - with the confidence that "life is getting better" and "everything is decided up there." However, we must not forget that, who represented the last lecturer - Mikhail Shvydkoy. Naturally, all this is happening not without the knowledge, but even with the approval of Viktor Koksharov. The university has not yet acknowledged that anti-Crimean and anti-Russian lectures are not very appropriate in a federal university. Apparently, this is precisely the "principled position of the Academic Council" or this position does not exist at all.
Returning to the family of the first president, it is worth remembering one more fact - despite the general confrontation between Russia and the West, Yeltsin's relatives are honored and welcomed in countries that even profess openly Russophobic views. For example, only a month ago, the Executive Director of the Yeltsin Foundation, Alexander Drozdov, visited Tallinn, where he presented letters of thanks from Naina Yeltsina to several people who were most active in the opening of the bas-relief in honor of Boris Yeltsin in 2013, including a member of parliament and a former minister. The bas-relief says that it was installed in memory of Boris Yeltsin, who made a contribution to the "peaceful restoration of Estonia's independence", that is, saved it from the bonds of the bloody Soviets. Note that this happened in the same Tallinn, where last years banned entry, for example, academician Valery Tishkov, actor Ivan Okhlobystin, chairman of the public council under the Ministry of Defense Igor Korotchenko, and ex-deputy of the European Parliament Julieto Chiesa was imprisoned and expelled from the country for trying to speak at a round table with a pro-Russian position. And in the same Tallinn, where they decided.
A month later, Drozdov received the French Order of Merit. The same award was received by one of the co-organizers of the History of Stalinism, the head of the Rosarkhiv Sergei Mironenko. At the same time, relations between Russia and France, let's face it, are not particularly good.
The president's daughter, Tatyana Yumasheva, does have Austrian citizenship along with her husband. They were able to obtain citizenship in 2009 on the guarantee of the leadership of the Canadian automobile concern Magna for a major "contribution to the development of the Austrian automotive industry." True, the Russian public had two questions: how many brands of Austrian cars can the reader remember, and why do Canadian businessmen vouch for the daughter of the late ex-president before the Austrian authorities? It is clear that the questions are rhetorical.
Everything falls into place if we remember that since the early 1990s, the Magna concern has been closely associated with the "young reformers", in particular, with Anatoly Chubais and the business empire of Yumashev's son-in-law Oleg Deripaska. It's no secret that Magna's board of directors includes prominent Western politicians, including members of the Bildeberg Club.
It remains to be stated that the Boris Yeltsin family retains its influence not only in Russia, but also in the ranks of the Western business and political elite. And in this sense, an attempt to keep in the orbit of their influence one of the largest universities in the country with loyal leaders and government funding looks to them as real as it is justified.
UrSU them. A. M. GorkyParticipant of Project 5-100 (Project for increasing the competitiveness of leading Russian universities among the world's leading scientific and educational centers). Since September 1, 2017, Ural Federal University has the right to independently award academic degrees.
Short description
Ural Federal University is the largest university in the Urals, the leading scientific and educational center of the region and one of the largest universities Russian Federation. About 35,000 "https://urfu.ru/ru/about/today/" students study in it, including about 32,000 full-time students (according to this indicator, UrFU is comparable only with Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and Southern Federal University). provide more than 4000 teachers, among them more than 650 doctors of sciences and about 2100 candidates of sciences, more than 30 members state academies. Education is carried out in 64 undergraduate areas, 26 master's areas, 126 postgraduate specialties and 42 doctoral specialties. The university has 30 dissertation councils.
In July 2013, UrFU was among 15 universities of the Russian Federation that received the right to additional funding as part of the competition for entry into the world university rankings. .
Until the beginning of 2013, there was a post of 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 Naboichenko, former rector of USTU-UPI.
History of creation
In subsequent years, the following faculties were created (or restored) at the institute: geological exploration, mining, forestry, and mechanical. In 1929, the Faculty of Civil Engineering was created, and the Faculty of Chemistry and Metallurgy was divided into the Faculty of Chemistry and Metallurgy. In 1930, during the reform of higher education (Decree 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' schools") 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 the organization of Ural University in 1920). On June 22, 1934, on the basis of 7 out of 10 universities, the 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, there were two independent large universities 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). On 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 December 24, 1992, No. 1133). April 23, 2008 Ural State Technical University was named after its graduate Boris Yeltsin [ ] .
Big 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 - came up with the idea of creating a Large Eurasian State University (BEGU) by combining technical and classical universities, as well as a number of other universities. The project of the university included the construction of a university campus on the site of a forest behind the Maly Shartash lake 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 BEGU was perceived with skepticism in the state university, supporters of integration were defeated in the rector's elections in 2007. In December 2008, it was announced that the BEGU project was closed and the Ural Federal University was formed on the basis of the developments made. (UrFU). The new concept is less ambitious, but is supported by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. [ ]
Creation of the Federal University
In the future (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 decree of the President of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev No. 1172 dated October 21, 2009 vocational education"Ural State Technical University - UPI named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin".
On April 8, 2010, the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation 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 .

In August 2017, a decision of the Government of the Russian Federation was published, which allowed Ural Federal University to independently award academic degrees from September 1, 2017.
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 exhibition "Innoprom-2013", 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 relationship between the two universities is expressed in the fact that the functioning of the center is supported by the Department of Metallurgy of UrFU, established in 2013 (it is headed by the director of the Institute of Materials Science and Metallurgy of UrFU, Doctor of Technical Sciences V. A. Maltsev) and the Joint Stock Company Uralelektromed, which is part of the UMMC. 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 (UGTU-UPI) and USU. Gorky are still counted as separate universities. The exception is, in particular, the QS World University Rankings. In 2011, in the QS ranking, Ural Federal University occupies 451-500th place, that is, it is included in the Top-500 (in total, the positions of 712 world universities are taken into account). This group also 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 of only Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, MSTU, MGIMO and NSU. In 2012, UrFU retained the 451-500th place, bypassing such universities as the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (537th place), the Higher School of Economics (542nd place), Tomsk State University (580th place), Kazan Federal University (663rd place). At the same time, in the QS ranking, UrFU is the leader of the ranking among all Russian federal universities. In 2013, UrFU was in the 501-550 group in the QS ranking, 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 RINKCE) included UrFU in the top five Russian universities that most effectively develop their innovation activities. According to the relevant key indicators, UrFU ranked fourth after Moscow State University, Tomsk State University and Moscow State Technical University. According to the Research Institute RINKCE, in 2010 UrFU produced works and services worth 14.6 million rubles and products - 17.7 million rubles. At Moscow State University, the same figures amounted to 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 (respectively, 101 and 134), UrFU approached TSU and outperformed Moscow State University and MSTU (respectively, 96 and 3). At the same time, Ural Federal University received 34.3 million rubles from the state budget in 2010 for the development of innovative infrastructure, while Moscow and Tomsk universities received 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 ranks 901st. In the ranking of universities of the BRICS countries, the educational institution is on the 77th line, and in the ranking of higher educational institutions of 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 whose leaders are appointed to positions only in agreement with the FSB. According to the media, many current and former FSB employees and their relatives, as of 2016, held positions in the administration of the Ural Federal University: Vice-Rector for General Affairs V. Kozlov, Advisor to the Rector V. Ilinykh, Deputy Vice-Rector K. Polovnev.
Video surveillance at lectures
As of 2017, the university had "security" video surveillance in 100 classrooms out of 500 available. This practice has existed (according to the data provided by the press secretary of the university in May 2017) for about three years. Since 2017, lecture recordings have been broadcast from these cameras.
Awards
University problems
As of March 2016, the UrFU rectorate 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 managerial positions had to be created for former vice-rectors. For example, USU Vice-Rector for Research A. O. Ivanov
It is one of the most promising universities in Russia. More than 10 thousand applicants annually choose this educational institution to receive the highest level of education. What attracts the establishment of future specialists? What are the specialties and areas of activity?
History pages and general information about the university
