North-Caucasus Federal University

North-Caucasus Federal University (NCFU) is one of Russia's ten federal universities, each of them standing out as a unique academic institution established subject to the special national EDUCATION project. The purpose of this was to create advanced innovation-driven comprehensive centers for training, research, and business shaping qualified staff meeting the world's top standards. The aim for NCFU is to arrange training for those who are going to be further employed by the leading regional enterprises, thus contributing to the well-balanced performance within the major socio-economic programs. North-Caucasus Federal University was established in 2012 as a merger of three largest universities – North-Caucasus State Technical University, Stavropol State University, and Pyatigorsk University for Humanities and Technology. And each of the institutions had gone a long way to build an outstanding history behind. Each of these was established at a certain point through the history of our country in order to meet the demand experienced in various sectors of the economy – in the Stavropol Region, in the North Caucasus, as well as all over the country.
