When you join Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering, you become part of the 85-year history of higher education architecture and civil engineering. Our roots trace back to 1919 when in Kazan there was founded a united Kazan Polytechnic Institute consisting of 4 faculties in different academic programs, including the Faculty of Civil Engineering. In 1930 on the base of the Institute, there was established Kazan Institute of Municipal Construction named after M.Gorkiy that became a separate institution of higher education training future civil engineers and road engineers. The period of 1930-1941 was dedicated to the development of the Institute: organization of appropriate academic process, research activity enforcement of technical facilities, and establishing academic spaces and laboratories. The number of students was increasing year by year. We began to develop relations with foreign Universities in Architecture and Civil Engineering to start exchange programs. In 2005 the Academy became Federal State Educational Institution "Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering." Nowadays, Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering (KSUAE) is one of the leading architecture and engineering public universities in the Russian Federation. The University is the federal state educational agency specializing in architecture and building engineering. It is an extensive educational and scientific center with great creative potential.
