Belarusian State University

History of BSU

The history of the university began in 1921, when it was decided to open a state university in Minsk. The teaching staff of the university was formed from the best specialists in Moscow and Kiev universities.

The formation of BSU is associated with the beginning of the formation of science in our country.

In the same year, a scientific society was formed at the university, which trained personnel capable of making great changes in the fate of our country.

The faculties of the university were distinguished by various fields of study. So, both doctors and builders were trained at the university. Students have been trained for several years, and also had the opportunity to share experience and knowledge.

After 10 years, the teaching staff of the university was interested in building international relations with universities in Poland, Czechoslovakia, the USA, etc.

Gradually, more and more educational institutions were opened in the capital, but BSU did not lose its relevance. Thousands of applicants have always sought to enter here.

In 1937, the university began to accept doctoral theses and dissertations for defense, while graduates were awarded a scientific degree.

The teaching staff and structure of the university have experienced difficulties and setbacks. This was due to a difficult period in the country's history. In the same years, educational support units were formed: museums, biological stations, a greenhouse, etc.

The University was very upset by the events of the Second World War. Most of the university students and staff went to the front. Fortunately, in the summer of 1944, students continued to study within the walls of the university. Some were awarded awards and titles of heroes of the Soviet Union. A little later, an obelisk was erected near the main building in memory of the heroes who returned us a peaceful sky overhead.

The university returned the pre-war state only by the 1950s.

The university developed thanks to the ability to work and the enthusiasm of students and their teachers. Gradually, there is a development in the field of mathematics, medicine and the humanities.

Both the faculties of BSU and the infrastructure of the university received development. For example, a memorial was erected in the courtyard of the university in memory of famous figures of Belarusian science and culture.
