Founded in 1930, Kharkiv
National University of Radio and Electronics (KHNURE) is one of the
oldest schools in Ukraine. It grows dynamically today and its research
and educational capabilities in electrical engineering, electronics,
telecommunications, information and computer technologies have no equals
in Ukraine and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Despite the difficulties
of Ukraine’s economic transition, not only has the University preserved
its knowledge base; but it has also contributed to the areas critical to
the technical and scientific aspects of the national economy.
The idea of the national
renaissance is the cornerstone to the University’s active philosophy.
One of the most progressive and perspective state schools, KHNURE takes
pride in its role in building an independent Ukraine. It is a modern
school, which welcomes youth not only from Ukraine, but from many other
countries as well.
Today the University is a
house for over 12 thousand students majoring in 34 specialties. The
school is successful in growing its academia and has a postgraduate
program of 240 studentships. Every year about 40 researchers in 28
specialties have their theses passed and attain their Doctorates.
The research base of the
University is continuously developing. The school has a university-wide
computer network and a functional center for distance learning. The
other facilities include: an electronic library, a student television
center, a laboratory of satellite television (the only one in Ukraine),
laboratories of the electronic office technologies, information
security, consumer electronics, microprocessor devices, bank
technologies and others. Computer support for planning and monitoring
the education and other university routine processes is based off “The
University” corporate analysis solution.
The University pioneered
the remote education in Ukraine. It was the school’s proposal to create
the Ukrainian Association of Remote Education, which helped unite and
coordinate joint efforts of the in this area of the educational
institutions in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
It’s not just the school’s
modern technical base, which ensures the high standards of the school’s
education. The golden reserve of the University is its high-skilled
teaching staff, which includes 135 professors and 340 post-graduate
degree holders. The quality of education is proved by awards won by
students at the national and international scientific competitions.
KHNURE’s broad international academic ties give access to its students
and postgraduates to studies and internships world-wide.
In recognition of its high
achievements in the field of academic education, the University was
awarded a Silver Medal and a Diploma of the Laureate of the 8th
International Academic Rating of Popularity and Quality “Golden Fortune”
in the nomination "The Quality of Education of the Third Millennium" in
2001.
KHNURE has everything
needed to provide its students with a balanced development: a library,
reading halls, an art center with numerous art clubs, a sport club etc.
The University pays a
great attention to impelling its students into the national values, such
as their native language, the history, the literature and arts. A
research was launched on innovations in the education process with the
results being published in the University’s "The New Collegium" journal.
This journal has become a platform for sharing scientific experience
and ideas among Ukrainian college professors and researchers.
The scientific
achievements of the University are known both in Ukraine and abroad.
Among KHNURE’s outstanding researchers are nine Honorary Scientists of
Ukraine and 25 members of national and international Academies. Out of
30 known scientific groups more than half were formed in the years since
Ukraine gained independence. The scientific achievements of those
schools are predominantly in the areas science and technology that the
Ukrainian government deems a priority.
The unique research
results promoted the development of dozens of new scientific areas and
solidified the leading position of the national science school in many
economic and defense applications; most importantly, in the space
research. The equipment built by the scientists of the University helped
create the most complete in the world catalog of meteoritic particles
of the Near-Earth space. This equipment has also allowed performing
high-precision measurements during the launch of the first Ukrainian
satellite "SICH-1" as well as creating a global model of technogenic
particles in the stratosphere and the mesosphere of the Earth.
The International
Astronomical Union has named three minor planets "KHNURE", "Kashcheyev"
and "Voloshchuk" in recognition of KHNURE and its professors B. L.
Kashcheyev and Y.I. Voloshchuk’s roles in studies of the Near-Earth
space. KHNURE is the only university of Ukraine distinguished
internationally at such high level.
Scientists of the
University work productively on implementations of such national
programs as space research, IT, nondestructive control and technical
diagnostics. The University hosts annually three international
conferences: “Theory and technology of transmitting, reception and
processing of information"," Education and Virtuality" and "Radio &
Electronics and the youth in the 21st century".
Since 2000, KHNURE has
become the hub of electrical and electronics engineering science
development in the region. It’s also the base for the International
Academy of Applied Radio and Electronics science founded by leading
scientists of the defense industries of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus in
1992.
KHNURE is also the base of
the National Association "Antennae" and of the Eastern- Ukrainian
department of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE).
The University partners
actively with schools in Great Britain, Finland, France, Germany, the
United States and other countries. This boosts the integration of the
University into the European and world systems of higher education. A
high-priority direction of such partnership is the school’s
participation in INTAS, INCO-Copernicus and other fundamental and
applied scientific research programs funded by the European Union. The
students are actively involved in the research work on the international
projects. As a result, KHNURE has adapted a new unified system of
education degrees with qualification levels of specialist’s and master’s
degrees, which makes it possible for the University to be a part of the
common network of technical colleges of the European Union.
Improving the lives and
leisure time of its students is vital to the University. Modern
healthcare center was created using the results of the University’s own
scientists’ work in the area of medical diagnostic equipment. Also
available to the students and staff is the health resort "Impulse" of
100 beds capacity.
The progress of the
University goes along with implementing the development concept based on
such priorities as integration into the European and world systems of
higher education; participation in state social programs for educational
improvement through building systems for correspondence and distance
learning and retraining, raising professionally and socially sound
generation of citizens ready to work actively and responsibly for the
future of the society and the country.
The achievements of the
University in the past and present, clear vision of its development path
distinguish KHNURE as one of the known Ukrainian centers of the
scientific and technical progress and promise it a bright prospective.
We invite you to study and
work at Kharkiv National University of Radio and Electronics.
Respectfully,
The
Rector of the University,
President of the Academy of Sciences of
Applied Radio & Electronics
of the Republic of Belarus, Russia
and Ukraine,
Honorary Scientist of Ukraine,
Corresponding member
of NASU,
Michael F. Bondarenko, Professor, Ph.D.
