Dnipro University of Technology is one of the oldest and most prestigious higher education institutions in Ukraine, founded in 1899.
History
Dnipro University of Technology was founded in 1899 as the Yekaterinoslav Higher Mining College. In 1911, it became the Yekaterinoslav Mining Institute, and in 1926, it was renamed the Dnipropetrovsk Mining Institute. Based on this institution, the State Mining Academy of Ukraine was established in accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 646 dated August 13, 1993, titled “On the Improvement of the Network of Higher Educational Institutions.”
By Presidential Decree No. 522/97 dated June 11, 1997, “On Granting the Status of National to the State Mining Academy of Ukraine,” the academy was granted national status and renamed the National Mining Academy of Ukraine.
According to the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 86-r dated February 28, 2002, “On the Reorganization of the National Mining Academy,” the academy was reorganized into the National Mining University.
By the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine No. 1636 dated December 20, 2017, the State Higher Educational Institution “National Mining University,” which was state-owned and under the management of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, was renamed Dnipro University of Technology (National Technical University “Dnipro Polytechnic”). The university is the legal successor to all property, labor, and non-property rights and obligations of the former “National Mining University.”
The Dnipro University of Technology has long-standing and close scientific and educational ties with many countries around the world. Its cooperation with a number of leading technical universities in Europe dates back more than a century.
