Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University

The University was formed from branches of Ural higher educational institutions which existed in Magnitogorsk in 1932. However, the official date of birth is deemed to be 1934, when under the Resolution of the Council of People’s Commissars of the 22nd of March the Magnitogorsk Institute of Mining and Metallurgy opened its doors to train engineers for the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK).

NMSTU is one of the Russian universities which have the status of a ‘Flagship University’. The total number of students reaches 12,000 in 2018.

Students and teaching staff at NMSTU are involved in a variety of research activities and grant programs. 

The Institute is engaged in both conventional research (innovative metalware, theoretical and technical developments in the area of coating techniques) and study of the technology to produce nanostructured steel wires for high-strength steel cables.Currently, intense research work is carried out to develop innovative techniques to produce long-length nanostructured steel products. These developments are meant to satisfy the needs of today’s steel makers and metalware producers.
