The date of foundation of Pyatigorsk State University is considered to be June 27, 1939, when the Pedagogical School officially became a higher educational institution. Since then, the university has undergone various changes and transformations - an increase in the number of years of study, several renamings - and officially became known as Pyatigorsk State University in 2016. Since 2005, the head of the university is Professor Gorbunov Alexander Pavlovich.
By 2009, 10 faculties were formed at the university. Further, on their basis, institutes and higher schools were created, having one of the faculties in their composition. In addition, PSU is actively developing the system of pre-university, postgraduate and additional education. It has a branch in Novorossiysk. Currently, the university has 34 departments.
Now Pyatigorsk State University has more than 5,500 students and 3,000 students from different regions of Russia and foreign countries. All the peoples of the Caucasus are also represented in PSU.
For three days, PSU held initiation ceremonies for new students!
Vibrant performances by PSU creative groups, warm words of encouragement from Rector Alexander Pavlovich Gorbunov and Advisor to the Rector on Educational Work and Youth Policy Elvira Dmitrievna Kondrakova, as well as speeches by student organization leaders created a truly festive atmosphere.
But the most exciting moment awaited the first-year students at the end – the solemn student oath!
Training courses on entrepreneurial skills have been completed in the North Caucasus as part of the federal projects “Technologies” and “University Technology Entrepreneurship Platforms.”

And I would like to thank all the participants and organizers – the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and Pyatigorsk State University – for their contribution to the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. May everything work out!
