Institute of Mathematics and Computer Sciences
The Institute of Mathematics and Computer Sciences was founded on the 6th of December, 2005 within the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. Today, the Institute is an independent entity affiliated with University of Tyumen. The Institute is developing in accordance with modern trends with scientific schools constantly evolving, and testing sites emerging. The institute’s focus area includes various aspects of computer science, including software engineering, graphics, multimedia technologies, information systems and networks, databases, and other subjects within the mathematics sphere.
Institute of Physics and Technology
The Institute of Physics and Technology is one of the oldest centers of scientific education in the West Siberia. Its history dates back to 1930 when the first institution of higher education was created which was the Agricultural and Pedagogical Institute. Since then a long way has been covered and now the University of Tyumen is for sure one of the best classical universities of Russia. More than 90 percent of faculty have PhDs and beyond, showing the highly professional nature of our institute.
Institute of Earth Sciences
The origins of the Institute of Earth Sciences date back to 1930 back when it was a part of the Tyumen Agricultural and Teachers’ Training Institute. While the study of Earth Sciences has existed in many forms throughout the years, it was not until 1975 that the Institute of Earth Sciences emerged as we know it today.

Institute of Finance and Economics
The Institute of Finance and Economics works to fulfil the Tyumen region’s intellectual potential by developing multi-level training programs for highily educated, professionally active specialits who are adapted to the innovative economy.
The institute is a major player in UTMN international partnerships, having established numerous partnerships with scientific and educational institutions in Germany, France, and Norway. These allow for the development of general education programs, as well as new diverse teaching methods developed from international experience. Likewise, we emphasize teacher mobility, students’ international collaboration to carry out scientific research, the development of joint courses and lectures, and global discussions in the sphere of economic education.
The Institute provides both undergraduate and non-degree, practical training for students, many of which have gone on to work in some of the top companies of Tyumen and the Tyumen Region. Approximately 70% of institutes graduates find work in their major field and in local/retional major companies, businesses, and organizations.
The Finance and Economics Institute employs 193 instructors who work in eight departments within the institute, including 30 doctors of Science and 116 Candidates of Science. In addition to its specialization program, the institute organizes four bachelor’s degree programs and nine master’s programs in the following fields: economics, finances, book-keeping and accountancy, taxes and taxation, management, sociology, economic security, and personnel management.
Located in the historical part of Tyumen, the Institute’s home building was constructed in 1997 and posesses substantial informational and material resources for optimizing student success.

Interesting facts about Tyumen
During the Second World War, the body of Lenin was evacuated from Moscow to Tyumen. During this period, the functions of the mausoleum were fulfilled by the present Tyumen State Agricultural Academy.
In February 1944, Tyumen militia (police) spent two weeks on trapping cats to send them to the Hermitage in Leningrad. During the German siege of the city, the local cats became extinct and the number of mice and rats increased drastically threatening the works of art. 238 cats were sent to the northern capital of the country, where they gave rise to a new population of Leningrad cats.
