GENERAL INFORMATION

Tyumen State University is one of the oldest higher education establishments in Western Siberia, with a history dating back to 1930. As the Western Siberian region developed into one of the most important sources of fuel and raw materials in Russia, Tyumen's Institute of Higher Education underwent considerable change. As a result it was given "University Status" in 1973 by government decree. Today Tyumen State University is a powerful educational center for the region, with a developed network of branches and over 25,000 students.

By comparison, the region's territory covers three times the area of France, six times that of the United Kingdom or five times that of Germany. Located in a picturesque area on the high banks of the Tura River, the city has about 600,000 inhabitants.

The climate is continental, characterized by rather severe snowy winters, warm summers and short transitional seasons.
