The University of Chemistry and Technology is one of the oldest higher schools of our country. It was formed on the basis of the Chemical faculty of the Ivanovo-Vosnessensk Polytechnic Institute. In 1930 the Poly was reorganized into four independent Institutes: Textile, Power, Agricultural, and Chemical-Technological. At that time the Institute of Chemistry and Technology occupied two buildings: the new laboratory building, built in 1930 (now the main one), and the auditorium building (1935). During the years of its existence 35.000 engineers, about 1000 Candidates of Science and 90 Doctors of Science have been trained at our higher school. At present our University is a large and important educational and scientific centre with a student body about 4000. It trains engineers for chemical, machine-building, textile, electronic, food and other branches of industry as well as economists and researchers. The university is equipped with 10 display classes and has above 300 PCs. Local networks provide an effective access to the International RELCOM system and to INTERNET global network. Now the ISUCT /ai es ju: si: ti:/ occupies five buildings. In the main building there are deans’ offices, laboratories, departments, auditoriums, workshops, etc. In the auditorium building several departments, auditoriums, laboratories and a gymnasium are situated. There are departments, well-equipped teaching and research laboratories, an assembly hall and a big gymnasium in the laboratory building (1977). In the Humanities faculty building several departments, auditoriums, laboratories are situated. The University library with its several readingrooms contains about one million of books and journals both in Russian and in foreign languages. ISUCT COMPRISES: ?

Various educational programmes are available at present at our University: traditional higher education, basic higher education (bachelorship), mastership, post-graduate and doctorate courses, the second higher education, supplementary education, retraining and professional skills improvement. The graduate and undergraduate students of ISUCT are oriented to choose from a wide spectrum of programmes of supplementary professional training. These programmes guarantee them high professional level and increase their opportunities for making career. An academic year is divided into two semesters. During the semester the students attend lectures, practical and laboratory classes, seminars, tutorials, etc. At the end of every term they take written and oral tests, and examinations. In February, July and August they have winter and summer vacations. The third and the fourth-year students fulfil their essays and projects. Senior students write their year papers and diploma projects at the largest enterprises of chemical industry and at research institutions of Russia and abroad. The students’ club of the University unites more than 15 art groups, among them – dancing, theatrical, folklore and rock-groups, a circus studio, show-theatre "Come On". Numerous sport groups are very popular at the University too.
