The history of the University
At the beginning of 1950 уears by the USSR government was set a task to create one of the centers of radioengineering development and instrumentation in Ryazan. At the same time under the order of the Government № 5389-2346 as of the 28th of December in Ryazan «Radio Engineering Institute» was created for engineer training in the sphere of radio engineering for radiolocation and electrovacuum industry for 5-year term and with the intake of 315 students to the institute in the 1952-1953 academic year.
Further in 1993 the Institute was renamed in Ryazan State Radio Engineering Academy, and in March, 2006 in Ryazan State Radio Engineering University, now Ryazan State Radio Engineering University named after V.F. Utkin.
In 60 years the University was directed by:
