History

[edit]

In 1993, the Moscow Department of Education proposed to the Russian Ministry of Education a project to create a pedagogical university on the basis of several departments of the Moscow State University for the Humanities. The university was founded on March 1, 1995, by decision of the Moscow Government. The creation of a new pedagogical university was received in two ways: by ordinary Muscovites and by government agencies.[13]

During the first year 1300 students were enrolled to 8 faculties (History and Philology were the first ones) with 17 specialities and 3 forms of studies. Soon the Faculties became 12. Since 1995, the Moscow City University has a post-graduate department, and since 1996 a doctoral department. In 1997, the Samara Branch of the Moscow City University was opened.[14]

In 2006 the Institute of Foreign Languages was opened, based on the Department of English Philology and the Department of Romance and Germanic Philology. In 2010, the Institute of Humanities was created on the basis of the Faculty of History and Philology of Moscow State Pedagogical University. In 2014, the Institute of Culture and Arts was established.[citation needed]

In 2012, the Moscow Humanitarian Pedagogical Institute (MGPU) joined the university, and in 2013, the Moscow State Academy of Business Administration (MGADA) joined the university. In 2014, 10 teacher training colleges became part of Moscow City University. In 2015, the colleges merged into the K.D. Ushinsky Institute for Secondary Vocational Education. In 2019, the Institute creates a laboratory of adolescent development.[citation needed]

The university has about 13,000 students.[15] The university does not have a single complex of buildings, all of its institutes are located in different locations in Moscow and the Moscow region.[citation needed]
