Story

The history of the united university and the universities included in it is directly related to the industrial and economic development of the Samara region as one of the leading aerospace centers in the world.

History of KuAI - SSAU

The Aviation Institute, which became the core of the current Samara University, opened in Samara (then Kuibyshev) in October 1942. By that time, about 30 enterprises and organizations of the aviation industry had been evacuated to the city. Serial production of the Il-2 attack aircraft, which became the most mass-produced combat aircraft in the history of aviation, was launched here. From total number Il-2 (36,183 units) 74% produced by aircraft factories in Kuibyshev (26,888 units). Kuibyshev Aviation Institute (KuAI) became the base for training engineering personnel for these enterprises.

In the post-war years, KuAI began to develop research work related to the production of the latest types of aircraft, including the first jet fighters and bombers, as well as engines for them. The scientific developments of the institute's scientists were used in the design and production of Tu-144, Tu-154, Il-76, Il-86, Il-114 and others.

Since 1957, KuAI has been training specialists in rocket and space technology. Scientists, specialists and graduates of the institute took part in the development and mastery of production of the first domestic intercontinental ballistic missiles R-7, R-7A, R-9; launch vehicles "Vostok", "Molniya", "Soyuz"; rocket-space complex for a manned flight to the Moon, as well as the Energia-Buran aerospace system. They created spacecraft for various purposes, including for systems of national monitoring of the earth's surface, developed programs for the MIR orbital complex, and participated in many other, including international, projects.

At the end of the 1950s, KuAI initiated the creation of industrial research laboratories, which served as a powerful impetus for the development of university science. Famous scientists and industrial workers were attracted to work at the institute. Among them is the general designer of aircraft and rocket engines Nikolai Kuznetsov and Soviet and Russian designer of rocket and space technology Dmitry Kozlov.

On February 22, 1966, the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute was named after Academician S.P. Korolev.

In 1967, the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

Educational structures

The educational part of SSAU is divided into faculties, each of which trains students in a specific set of specialties, and each of which has several departments. Each faculty is managed by its dean’s office, headed, in turn, by the dean of the faculty; Departments are led by heads of departments. A special feature of the names of faculties is the fact that when designating a faculty, its number is often used. chronological order education, not the title.

SSAU provides training in three forms: full-time, part-time and part-time. A separate faculty has been created for the latter, which is described here. Full-time education involves maximum amount classroom activities as lectures, and practical. It provides the most complete and high-quality education. The main feature of this form of education is the fact that the vast majority of students studying on it are trained on a budgetary basis, i.e. they do not pay any fees for education. Classroom classes in full-time and part-time courses are held in the evening, and there are significantly fewer of them than in full-time courses. In this case, the student is forced to master most of the material on his own, but, nevertheless, this can be convenient for students working in an enterprise or receiving education at several universities.

For people who have already received higher education, the university works graduate school And doctoral studies, conducting training of scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel represented by candidates of sciences and doctors of sciences at the expense of budget funds on a full-time basis.

Faculty of Correspondence Studies

SSAU began to conduct correspondence training for specialists in 1999, and already in 2000 Due to the increasing number of students wishing to receive higher education at SSAU in absentia, a faculty was created for this purpose. It trains specialists in the most popular specialties and areas that already exist in other faculties. The main advantage of the faculty is the absence of classroom classes, which can be very beneficial for students who are already closely involved in work or study at another university. Sometimes the department of correspondence education is still called the ninth department, although this is not officially accepted. The dean of the faculty is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Valery Dmitrievich Elenev.

Faculty of Pre-University Training

The Faculty of Pre-University Training was founded in 1990 to work, first of all, with actual or potential SSAU applicants. He is engaged in conducting preparatory courses, testing and subject Olympiads, which should attract the most prepared Samara youth to SSAU. The dean of the faculty is Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Evgeniy Aleksandrovich Izzheurov.
