Far Eastern State University of Railways

Far Eastern State University of Railways is one of the largest universities in the Far East of Russia. Previously, it was called the Khabarovsk Institute of Railway Engineers (from 1937 to 1993), as well as the Far Eastern State Academy of Railways (from 1993 to 1997).

The complex of the institute included a dormitory, two residential buildings and an educational building. The laying of the foundation of the hostel began in the summer of 1939, and in the autumn of the same year, training classes began. The first student enrollment was 106. Due to the fact that the university building was not yet fully completed, students were sent to the Novosibirsk and Tomsk Institutes of Railway Engineers. Already in the second academic year, students were able to study in their own premises. Their number was about 300 people.

Currently, the teaching staff of the Far Eastern University of Railways has about 700 people, many of whom have academic titles and degrees, including professors and doctors of science. Leading scientists of the university create scientific schools. The University trains highly qualified personnel in the most priority areas in the field of electricity, transport, management, construction and economics.
