Pyatigorsk State University (PSU)

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.

A prototype Multifunctional Center has been created at Pyatigorsk State University.

PSU became one of the first universities in the country to participate in the Federal Project "Labor Productivity," part of the national project "Efficient Competitive Economy." The project is coordinated by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation. Its goal is to improve the university's internal processes, increase efficiency, and reallocate resources to development programs.

The pilot project focused on student documentation—issuing certificates of enrollment, duration of study, and income. These services marked the beginning of the service's transformation and transition to more modern and convenient interaction formats.

The project's implementation marked an important step toward the further development of digital services for students.
