History of VSU named after Masherov

The history of the university began in 1910, when an institute was opened in Vitebsk to train specialists in the field of teaching.

During the Second World War, students and specialists fought for the freedom of the Belarusian land, and the institute was used as a military field hospital. Today, the teaching staff and students of that time are the pride of the university, and some even bore the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

In 1944 the institute continued its activities. And in 1974 it moved to the building on Moskovsky Prospekt, which still meets students annually.

The development and effectiveness of research activities served as a good argument for the opening of graduate school in 1991. And after 5 years, the magistracy was opened.

Over time, the university began to open new faculties and specialties, graduates became successful specialists, and the institute had a prestigious status among other educational institutions. Therefore, already in 1995, it received the title of a state university, and after 3 years it was given the P.M. Masherov name.

Today, the effective work of the entire team of the university and the success of graduates and students allows it to carry the status of a leading research center not only in Vitebsk, but also in its region.
