Gorno-Altaisk State University

Gorno-Altaisk State University is the largest educational centre of the Altai Republic. It is located in an ecologically clean and picturesque region. The University consists of 4 academic buildings, 3 dormitories, 3 libraries and other buildings and structures compactly located in the center of Gorno-Altaisk, which is very convenient for living and learning.
Gorno-Altaisk State University was founded in 1949 as the Teacher Training Institute. In the beginning there were only three departments at the institute (the Department of Language and Literature, the Physics and Mathematics Department, and the Department of Natural Geography). In 1993 it was given the status of a classical University. By that time, six departments functioned at the university (geographical, biochemical, physical and mathematical, philological, historical, and the department of foreign languages),

Some Faculties experienced transformation in recent years. For example, in 2013 the Faculty of Foreign Languages was joined to the Philological Faculty. A year later, in 2014, two Faculties, Philological and Historical were merged under the name of the Department of History and Philology.

Our university is large. At present more than 5 000 students and 80 postgraduates are enrolled at the University and 500 instructors work here, more than a half of them with scientific degrees.
