History

The development of the Tyumen region and the development of the engineering industry required the training of specialists. In 1956, to solve this problem the regional government opened an educational and consulting center of the Ural Polytechnic Institute in the building of the Tyumen Machine-Building Technical School. In 1963, the Industrial Institute of Tyumen was established by the Government decree. The first rector of TII was Anatoly Kosukhin, who previously worked as an associate professor at the Ural Polytechnic Institute. In ten years, the student body grew from 750 in 1964 to 8,955 in 1974.

In 1971, the construction faculty of the Industrial Institute of Tyumen became an independent higher educational institution – the Tyumen institute of civil engineering. In 1973, Viktor Kopylov became the rector of Industrial Institute of Tyumen. In 1986, Valentin Kanalin was appointed as rector. In 1990, Nikolai Karnaukhov was appointed as rector of Industrial Institute of Tyumen.

In 1994, IIT changed its name to Tyumen State Oil and Gas University. In the year of the institution's 50th anniversary, about 50 thousand people studied at the university in 650 general education programs. Over this time, the University has graduated about 75 thousand specialists.

In 2003, the University introduced a quality management system (QMS) for compliance with international educational standards. On 31 March 2010, at the Conference of scientific and pedagogical workers and students of the university, Vladimir Novoselov was elected as a new rector of the University. The faculty consisted of 1100 candidates and doctors of sciences, with three full members and two corresponding members of the RAS.

On 25 March 2016, by the decree of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Tyumen State Oil and Gas University was renamed into Industrial University of Tyumen. In May 2017 Veronika Efremova, a candidate of economic sciences, associate professor, was appointed as acting rector, a position she formally accepted as a permanent role in September 2019. In 2018, the University launched the educational project "Higher School of Engineering EG", which trains new-breed engineers in the area of digital transformation of the region.

Today 35,000 students study at the University at all levels of education. IUT offers 36 areas of training in higher education programs (bachelor's, specialist's degree), 31 Master's programs, 37 intermediate vocational education programs, 14 training programs for blue-collar professions and 8 areas of study in postgraduate programs. In total, the university has trained over 230 thousand specialists.
