Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation

 A. Ovodenko Rector of SUAI

Our University is a multi-profile center of training, retraining and upgrading the level of skills of engineers, economists and lawyers, a large scientific center reputed both in Russia and abroad.

      We try to do our best in combining classic traditions of Universities and modern technologies of higher education. Lectures at the SUAI are given by well-known scientists and specialists of leading enterprises of Saint-Petersburg and institutes and entities of Russian Academy of Science. Educational process on all faculties is based on scientific research and working of its scientists and research assistants. Modern information technologies are widely used in educational process and scientific research, these technologies include Internet, local and international computer networks.

      Many of our graduates became famous scientists, leaders of different industries, public leaders: academician I. Glebov (during many years he was the leader of Leningrad branch of USSR Academy of Sciences), M. Miroshnikov - Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Science (during more than 20 years he was at the head of Vavyiov's State Optical Institute), L. Chubraeva - Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Sciences, head of the chair of information technologies in electromechanics and robot-technique, A. Turchak - general director of holding company (shell company) "Leninez", A. Zaharov - general director of public company "Pirometr", G. Poltavchenko - representative of President of Russian Federation in Central region and many others.

       World-known scientific schools and scientific research conducted by University's scientists are at the base of their partnership with colleagues from universities and scientific centers of different countries. We are always glad to meet new students and new partners. Welcome to Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation!

 

 

Some dates from history of LIAI-SUAI

January 25, 1941 — Leningrad Aviation Institute is created on the base of Leningrad Road-Transport Institute by decree of the Soviet government. It has free faculties — aircraft construction, engine and instrument-making. October, 1945 — lessons are resumed; the institute gets a new name — Leningrad Institute of Aircraft Instrument-making. It has three faculties — aircraft equipment, radio engineering and electrical equipment.

1951 — evening faculty is opened

1962 — a faculty of instruction by correspondence is opened

1963 — a faculty of electronic devices and computer techniques is organized

1963 — a faculty of electronic devices and computer techniques is organized

1969 — courses for retraining and upgrading the level of skills of engineers and lecturers are opened

1970 — preliminary department and preliminary courses for university entrants are opened 

1972 — general technique (since 1998 — natural-science) faculty is opened 1984 — a faculty of intense specialist training for specified purposes is organized, since 1987 it is called the faculty of engineers-researchers training, then it is transformed into the faculty of masters training, which in turn gave birth to faculty of law, economic and management 1991 — humanitarian faculty is organized

1984 — a faculty of intense specialist training for specified purposes is organized, since 1987 it is called the faculty of engineers-researchers training, then it is transformed into the faculty of masters training, which in turn gave birth to faculty of law, economics and management

November 19, 1992 — Institute of Aircraft Instrument-making is renamed in Saint-Petersburg Academy of Aerospace Instrumentation

November 18,1997 — the Academy gained a status of University. Since that day it bears the name  "Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation"

1999 — UNESCO chair "Distant education in engineering" is opened 

2001 — the University celebrates its 60 anniversary
