The Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies was created in 2021 in Dnipro, when it joined the Dnipro National University of Railway Transport, named after Academician V. Lazaryan, with the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine. The new institution placed railway engineering and metallurgical education under one roof, and the former railway university continues inside it as the Dnipro Institute of Infrastructure and Transport.
Other higher education institutions of Dnipro have joined the university since its creation, among them the Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, which added civil engineering and architecture to the profile. The university describes its structure as a set of educational and research institutes, and it offers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral (PhD) programmes.
Teaching and research concentrate on railway engineering and transport, metallurgy and materials, construction, and computer technologies. The Dnipro Institute of Infrastructure and Transport covers construction, transport engineering and computer systems, while the metallurgical side links the university to materials and industrial processes.
