PSU was founded in 1993 on the basis of Novopolotsk Polytechnic Institute.

It has three departments: Extra-Mural (for students who study by correspondence), Preparatory (for people who want to enter the University) and Day-Time. Students who want to continue their education and get a scientific degree can study at the Post-Graduate courses of our university. The university cooperates with different educational establishments and organizations from Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, the UK, Greece, Russia, and Ukraine.

Over 10 thousand students and post-graduates get knowledge at PSU. Highly professional staff including 16 Doctors and over 150 Masters train our students. There are ten faculties at the university: Civil-Engineering Faculty, Chemical-Engineering Faculty, Radio-Engineering Faculty, Machine-Building Faculty, Financial-Economic Faculty, the Faculty of Geodesy, the Faculty of Information Technologies, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of History and Philology and the Faculty of Sports and Pedagogy. Every faculty offers a number of specialities.

Our students attend lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes. They take examinations twice a year: in winter and in summer. Those students who pass their exams successfully continue their education. At the end of studies students write their final scientific work (paper) and get a diploma. The graduates of our university become good specialists in their field and can easily find a job in Belarus and abroad.

There are good facilities for study at PSU: multi-media lecture theatres, computer rooms, scientific laboratories, the Internet Centre and the library with an electronic catalogue. Every year students can take part in international conferences that our university organizes.

The social conditions of our students’ life are also excellent. There are several refectories, hostels an exhibition space and gala complex. Our students can attend sports clubs and take part in various competitions.

Talented students can become members of our students’ theatre “Art”. It’s very popular with our students and the residents of Novopolotsk. I like my university. It is interesting and rewarding to study here. I hope to become a highly educated professional with a great future.
