The history of the Ternopil Ivan Puluj National Technical University is connected with the history of Ternopil. Since the 1960s the city has developed due to the construction of a significant number of industrial plants, including the Ternopil harvester plant, the VATRA Corporation, and later – the plants “The Saturn” and “The Orion”. The mentioned plants as well as dozens of smaller companies required highly qualified engineers. Lviv Polytechnic was the closest technical university. Thus to ensure this requirement of specialists on 11 November 1960 Ternopil Technical Faculty of the Lviv Polytechnic Institute with the extramural and evening forms of study was opened. This allowed the experienced workers to get higher education without leaving their jobs, and Ternopil gradually transformed into a student city.
According to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Ternopil Ivan Puluj National Technical University (TSTU) was founded based on Ternopil’ Instrumentation Institute, and on December 11, 2009, it was renamed Ternopil Ivan Puluj National Technical University for considerable input into the development of national education and science and taking into account nationwide and international recognition of results received by TSTU. Nowadays the university is the only higher technical educational establishment in Ternopil that provides training of specialists of all qualification levels, Doctors, and Ph.D. for Ternopil’, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivs’k, Khmel’nyts’k, and Rivne districts.
