Samara State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering is a licensed, assessed and accredited state higher professional education establishment. The University of today is a federal organization comprising 5 institutes, 10 faculties, 2 affiliated branches, 5 teaching, scientific and technological and testing centres.

The University’s affiliated branches are as follows:

-        a branch of the state higher professional education establishment “ Samara State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering” in the town of Belebey, Republic of Bashkortostan;

-        an Open Institute of the state higher professional education establishment “Samara State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering” in the town of Pokhvistnevo.

The spectrum of training programmes provided by the University covers seven educational profiles on 27 qualifications and specialist fields. The major aim of the University is to train specialists in design, construction, and maintenance of housing and industrial projects, urban and rural development, as well as erection of environmental protection structures. In addition, SGASU trains highly skilled architects and designers, as well as computing professionals, economists and managers who will be able to work effectively in the public or private sector of the construction industry or other fields of national economy.

FROM THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The Samara University of Architecture and Civil Engineering was founded in August 1930, when, in accordance with a Decree of the Soviet of People’s Commissars, the Kuibyshev Institute of Civil Engineering was established. Originally they set up the Training and Constructional Centre, including the Institute, two technical secondary schools and three prior learning faculties. Studies for the first 238 students began on October 25, 1930.This day is considered the birthday of the University. Initially there was only one specialty - Industrial and Civil Engineering. In 1933 there were two faculties - civil engineering and sanitary engineering. Over the last 75 years the Institute has changed its name several times, but the main direction of its work remains unchanged: training of specialists for building Production of the country.

In February 1995 the Civil Engineering Institute was given the new name of the Samara Academy of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and in March 2004 University status was granted.
