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.

The Pyatigorsk State University Autumn School “ Caucasus Mineral Waters – a region of peace and cooperation between peoples” has begun in Pyatigorsk, dedicated to the 245th anniversary of the city!

From September 29 to October 4, PSU will bring together teachers, students, and representatives of the national diasporas of the Caucasus Mineral Waters, as well as guests from Armenia, Georgia, and Greece, as part of the intercultural Autumn School.

You can look forward to six days of exciting events, three cultures, more than a dozen projects, hundreds of new acquaintances, and most importantly, the confidence that the Caucasian Mineral Waters are rightly called a region of peace and cooperation between peoples.

Such projects not only strengthen the academic reputation of the university, but also develop students' competencies as “global citizens”: intercultural dialogue skills, foreign languages, and the ability to work in international teams!
