Dmitry Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia

Dmitry Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia is one of the leading chemical universities of Russia. The university was founded in 1898 as an Industrial College in Moscow. Since its early days of existence, Mendeleev University has been training applied engineers for industrial needs.

At present the university provides training of the professionals for chemical technology branch and scientific researches in the field of chemical technology, petrochemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical technologies, nanotechnology and nanoengineering, energy and resource efficient technologies, ecology, modern power engineering materials, etc.

Mendeleev University has some modern educational buildings, academic and research centers and laboratories, small-scale enterprises, campus.Total number of students is about 8000 persons including more than 550 students from 35 countries of the world. Annual students’ acceptation is more than 1000 persons.

Scientific potential of the university makes 500 post-graduates and interns, 550 PhD holders, Associate Professors, 220 Doctors of Science, full Professors, 9 Academicians and Correspondent Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 35 Members of the specialized AcademiesDmitry Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia is now approaching its 130th anniversary. This remarkable age inspires reverence, and obliges us to keep up with the established traditions.

Since its early days of existence, D. Mendeleev University has been training highly qualified engineers for industrial needs. This area of training has retained its utmost importance over the years. The content of training has undergone a major qualitative shift. The University graduate must be able to deal with the challenges in a comprehensive manner, and take care of the research, production, environmental, and personal development issues all at the same time. This is the only way to secure the sustainable development.

Chemistry is a science that is capable of enhancing progress not only in the chemical industry, but also in the entire national economy. Modern high-performance technologies developed within the machine-building, aviation, and space sectors use the innovative materials worked out by our research staff, which by far exceed the conventional ones. We address the issues of environmental safety, develop low waste, resource and energy efficient technologies, and innovative energy sources.

The role of the Russian science increased over the past few years. Now we work in the field of biotechnology, microbiology, nanotechnology and a number of other research areas. Our University has huge responsibility, first and foremost, in the area of personnel training for the needs of the science-intensive technologies, nuclear power engineering, and defense industry.

Specialists trained by our University are capable of supporting the full production cycle at a chemical plant. Lately, we've been confronted with the task of training managers, sociologists, industrial environmentalists, and IT professionals in addition to chemical engineers. We do provide such training now.

Dmitry Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (MUCTR) joined the Bologna Process to build a single European Higher Education Area and switched to a multi-level training, introducing Bachelor and Master degrees, while retaining the traditional professional training procedures.The University has adopted the innovative development strategy aimed at enhancing the research, teaching, and managerial activities.

Our University is home to Methodology Association, which deals with the educational issues in the area of chemical technology, and biotechnology. MUCTR is responsible for preparing educational standards for higher school establishments, developing the manuals, study aids, and academic programmes for use at high schools and colleges.
