Perm State University was founded on October 14, 1916. It originated on the dividing line of two epochs of Russian history. That decade was marked by the so-called "silver age" of Russian culture, ingenious scientific achievements, rapid economic growth, and the crisis of the political system and catastrophic war, which brought Russia to the brink of social and political revolution. All these factors shaped the history of the University. Today, nearly one hundred years later, the University has a National Research University status and is one of the leading universities in Russia.
Twelve faculties, 83 departments train about 11 000 students, including 10 120 undergraduates, 702 post-graduates, and 270 doctoral students. At present, there are 48 programs for training UG at PSU, 26 programs for training Master students (PG). Every year PSU opens new and called-for programs. Eight programs are considered to be included in the top five in the country - Philosophy, Nanotechnology and Microsystems` Engineering, Information Security, Geography, Geology, History, and Social Work. The students study in 11 university buildings (150 classrooms, 45 laboratories, 28 computer labs). Students live in 7 student hostels either on the PSU campus or within a 15-minute walk.
