Ufa State Petroleum Technical University

The history of Ufa State Petroleum Technical University began in October 1941. In the then Chernikovsk (as at that time was called Ufa) moved evacuated Moscow oil Institute named after academician I.M. Gubkin. Two years later, some of the students and teachers of the Institute returned to Moscow, and a branch was organized in Chernikovsk with three faculties: fishing and mechanical, technological and geological exploration.

After the end of the Great Patriotic War, an active expansion of oil production began in Bashkortostan and Tatarstan - the postwar years were marked by the construction of large oil refineries in Ufa and Salavat. In connection with these events, a shortage of professional engineering personnel began to be acutely felt, therefore, in accordance with the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, in 1948, the Ufa Oil Institute was established on the basis of a branch of the Moscow Petroleum Institute. At the same time, new specialties were opened that were focused on the development of oil production and oil refining.

After gaining independence, the rapid development of the institute began, the teaching staff expanded, scientific activities intensified, new faculties appeared. In the XXI century, Ufa Petroleum Technical University entered a strong, well-equipped university capable of providing high-quality training in all specialties of the oil and gas profile.
