More than a hundred years ago Yekaterinoslav Higher Mining School was founded with the purpose of providing the mining industry with highly qualified specialists. The same task is put before us nowadays, but it is more extended and difficult. Ukraine is rich in mineral resources. The problem is their more effective use in combination with the opportunities of modern technologies and market cond...itions. This is a distinguishing feature of a new generation of specialists who are trained at the Mining University.
A brilliant teaching staff of more than 150 doctors of science, professors and about 400 candidates of science, associate professors is the guarantee of the higher professional level of training of our graduates. The National Mining University is a leading institution of education and science. In the conditions of integration processes it trains highly qualified specialists and scientists in all the specialties of the mining and geological-prospecting industries, fuel and power engineering and raw material complexes, machine building, systems of automation and computerization of production.
Our graduates are good at modern computer technologies and are capable of solving complex tasks of industry development, economy and law.
The number of students of the National Mining University is growing steadily. Training of specialists in new specialties has begun. The state standards in education and modern educational technologies, which are based on the principles of the Bologna Declaration are being developed and introduced. Students of the National Mining University are provided with ample opportunities: they can get both a military specialty and a second education and obtain a working profession. In addition to basic subjects you may receive additional knowledge in economics, ecology and foreign languages.
The university itself earns money and spends it on improving the material basis and widening the sphere of social protection of students and teaching staff. This money is also used for raising students’ scholarships.
Many years ago the National Mining University entered the international space. The main aim of this activity was to affirm in the world the high quality of training of specialists in Ukraine in technical subjects, and in humanities and to use the best educational technologies of the leading American and European universities in the learning/teaching process. Nowadays we have stable business contacts with more than 40 universities and research institutions in 20 countries of western and central Europe, Asia and Northern America. The most important areas of international activity are collaboration with foreign partners in holding research and doing mutual educational projects. University specialists, students, and post-graduates take an active part in prestigious international symposia, conferences and congresses.
The University has the following centers: Ukrainian-German cultural center, Ukrainian-American linguistic center, Ukrainian-Spanish-Latin American center as well as the centers of power consumption and power management, center of technical security of information, Center of aesthetics development, gemological center. Due to such advanced training and multilateral ties of the university with foreign educational establishment, our students and post-graduates get international grants to study in higher schools in Germany, Poland, Great Britain, Spain and the USA.
Specialists of our university participate in national, international, inter-branch and regional programs aimed at solving priority tasks of the development of fuel and power engineering complex, raw material basis, machine building and ecology. The university scientific achievements in mining and efficient use of coal, ores of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, in the development of the resource and power saving, nature protective and geoinformation technologies and up-to-date systems of production control are recognized and widely used in Ukraine and in the world.
Our university has highly-qualified scientific and pedagogical potential in combination with the developed up-to-date laboratory basis and unique equipment as well as close ties with industry. University scientists take an active part in solving urgent economic issues. This makes an educational process a contemporary one and provides with further development of world-famous scientific schools, which have appeared in the university over the century.
The National Mining University entered the third millennium as a world-recognized higher educational institution of the European level with a substantial intellectual potential, which is the guarantee of high-quality knowledge and further professional development of its graduates.
The National Mining University, which is the basic higher mining educational institution in Ukraine, was founded on June 16, 1899. It is the oldest university in Dnipropetrovsk region; moreover it laid the basis for more than two tens of educational institutions and scientific-research institutes. Among them there are Dnipropetrovsk Institute of Chemistry and Technology (1930), Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute (1930), Northern-Caucasian Mining and Metallurgical Institute (1931), Scientific-Research Chemistry Institute named after Melikishvili in Tbilisi (1929), Moscow Welding Institute (1925), All-Union Scientific-Research Designing Technological Institute of Pipe Industry (1929), Institute of Physical Chemistry named after Lev Pisarzhevsky in Kiev (1927), and others.
The ceremony of Katerynoslav Higher Mining College (KHMC) opening was conducted on October 12, 1899. At the beginning Higher Mining College had two departments – mining and factory ones. The curriculum according to “Statute of KHMC” foresaw 23 disciplines: God’s study, higher mathematics, analytical mechanics, construction mechanics, applied mechanics, mine-factory mechanics, physics, chemistry, electrical mechanics, mineralogy, geology and science on deposits, geodesy, mining art, ore and coal beneficiation, surveying, metallurgy, technology of metals, drawing and drawing geometry, accounting and mine-factory economy, technical translations from German and French, first aid at accidents. The training process was provided by 13 teachers. Mykola Iosipovich Lebedev - the founder of Donbass stratigraphy scientific school, rector 1908-1919, 1921-1924 years.
At the very beginning there was founded a two department library, a mineralogical museum, chemical, mechanical and probe laboratories, cabinets in each disciplines.
On June 19, 1912 the State Legislative body adopted a bill on restructuring the KHMC into Mining Institute since July 1. At that time there worked outstanding scientists. They were Ya. Grdina, V. Guskov, S. Zaborovsky, L. Ivanov, N. Lebedev, P. Leontovsky, V. Makovsky, L. Pisarzhevsky, M. Protodiakonov, P. Rubin, A. Terpigorev, M. Fedorov, S. Sharbe.
The publications of scientific works in technical periodical journals, monographs, study books, atlases testified high scientific potential of the educational institution. The KHMC systematically edited “Proceedings of Katerynoslav Higher Mining College” since 1905. Up to 1917 there had been edited 23 issues of “Proceedings”, published about 500 scientific works including monographs and study books. In the period of the educational institution formation there were established scientific schools and directions: Ya. Grdina became one of the founders of cybernetics, A. Terpigorev and V. Protodiakonov – the school of mining,V. Guskov – beneficiation of minerals, Leontovsky – the school of surveying, geodesy and geometry of deposits, M. Lebedev – geology and stratigraphy of Donbas, P. Rubin – metallurgy and coke chemistry, L. Pisarzhevsky – electron chemistry.
In 1918 Katerynoslav Mining Institute opened two new departments: Surveying (closed in 1921) and Geological Prospecting, and obtained the right to award the scientific degree through public defense of scientific dissertation. In 1921 there was created the Mechanical Faculty with two departments: Mining-Factory and Electrical Engineering. The implementation of new specialties was dictated by industry development. Besides, a Workers’ Faculty was opened.
Beginning since 1930 Mining Institute started training specialists only for mining industry and geological prospecting works. In 1932 there were established faculties instead of the departments: Mining, Electrical Engineering, Geological-Surveying.
In 1920 – 1930 the process of scientific schools forming was continued. Though during the 1930-s Dnipropetrovsk Mining Institute lost a significant part of its cadre staff (about 30 persons, among which there were outstanding professors) because of political repressions.
In 1941, when the war against Nazi had begun, about 300 teachers, staff members and students were recruited to the front. The institute evacuated to Sverdlovsk (Urals) and Karaganda (Kazakhstan), brought a significant part of the equipment and the scientific staff for Sverdlovsk Mining Institute and the Filial of Moscow Mining Institute, which by that time had come to Karaganda too. A great deal of the teaching staff of Dnipropetrovsk Mining Institute occupied engineering positions at mining enterprises of the Urals and Republics of Middle Asia.
The activity of the Institute was renewed in 1943, first – in Karaganda, and later – in Dnipropetrovsk. Destroyed educational facilities and laboratories were under reconstruction. Those who survived were coming back from the front. By 1951/1952 academic year there had been completely renewed the building of the Institute, put into operation a boring experimental study range, laboratories, dormitories. In 1951 there was established the Mine-Construction Faculty. Scientific elaborations of the Institute’s teaching staff, student diploma projects of that period were subordinated to the problems of renewing Donetsk, Kryvyi Rih and Nikopol manganous basins.
By the 50-th anniversary the Institute had 165 professors, associate professors and lecturers, 34 departments, 22 laboratories, 25 cabinets, a geological museum, library, experimental study range and study experimental workshops. At 4 faculties there studied 1942 students by 9 specialties.
In the 1960-s new-built and restored educational and educational-laboratory buildings, three multistoried dormitories for students and post-graduate students, educational-production workshops, a sport building, facilities of an educational-geodesic experimental study range in the village of Orlivshchyna were put into operation.
In 1970 at Dnipropetrovsk Mining Institute there worked 474 teachers, including 34 professors. The amount of graduating engineers equaled 1200 persons. The amount of specialists prepared by full-time education was increasing, though part-time and extramural study forms also functioned.
In May 1993 according to the results of State accreditation Dnipropetrovsk Mining Institute gained the status of an autonomous IV-accreditation level state higher educational institution and the name of the State Mining Academy of Ukraine. In 1997, the President of Ukraine issued a decree to award the Academy the national status. In February 2002 the institution was restructured into the National Mining University. Since 2010 the University has had a research status. Today it is one of the leading technical higher educational institutions of the country. The University graduates possess the knowledge in modern computer technologies, and are capable of solving complicated problems of industry, economics and law development.
At the University there are 51 departments (27 of which are major-based) united into 9 faculties of full-time education, Institute of Extramural and Distance Learning, post-graduate and doctoral courses, Interbranch Institute of Continuing Learning, Scientific and Research Unit, Ukrainian-American Linguistic Center, Linguistic Center, Ukrainian German Cultural Center, Ukrainian-Spanish-Latin-American Center, Center for Ukrainian-Polish Cooperation, Energy Saving and Energy Management Center, Prydniprovsk Science-and-Technology Center of Information Protection, Ukrainian-American Lyceum, Marganets College, Pavlograd Technical School, Motor Transport Technical School et al.
At the University there study 12000 students, post-graduate and doctoral students in 27 modern specialties. The licensed amount of student admission for entering the University is 1400 students. The academic process is provided by 600 teachers including more than 100 Doctor of science, professors and 350 Candidate of Science, associate professors. A high quality of education is guaranteed due to the developed infrastructure of the University, modern computer local and global computer nets, library funds with more than one million of volumes, strong material and technical laboratory basis, newest technologies of education.
