It includes colleges, schools with different specializations and courses, and it functions successfully.
The University campus includes eight academic buildings, most of them being in the historic city center. There are also four students' dormitories and six countryside properties. Modern equipment of the departments, academic and research laboratories, lecture halls, experiments, test production workshops, and industrial workshops of the research and production center allows for the delivery of vocational and higher professional education programs.
