History
On August 1, 1958, by a decree of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, the ''Vladimir branch of the Moscow Evening Machine-Building Institute'' was opened with two faculties: mechanical-engineering and machine building. The institute initially admitted 200 students. In 1962, in connection with the liquidation of the Moscow Evening Engineering Institute, the Vladimir branch was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Moscow Institute of Electrical Engineering. In February 1964, the branch was transformed into the ''Vladimir Evening Polytechnic Institute''. In the same year, the machine building faculty for radio parts was created, of which the first dean was B. F. Gradusov. In 1969 Vladimir Evening Polytechnic Institute was transformed into the ''Vladimir Polytechnic Institute (VPI)''. In 1977, the VPI was awarded first place in the socialist competition of higher educational institutions in the USSR . In 1978, VPI began teaching foreign students. In 1993, VPI was once again renamed to ''Vladimir State Technical University (VSTU)'' . On December 30, 1996, VSTU was shortened to read ''Vladimir State University (VSU)'', marking its change into a university of the classical type. In 2002, Vladimir State University was elected to be a member of the Eurasian Association of Classical Universities. On March 31, 2011, by order of the Minister of Education and Science A. A. Fursenko, Vladimir State University merged with its corresponding university for the Humanities.Education offered
Since its inception, the university has trained more than 60,000 specialists. VSU cooperates with more than 40 universities around the world, and more than 30 educational centers operate under it. Vladimir State University implements the main educational programs of higher professional education in stages: * Bachelor's degree - Confirmed once a student has successfully passed the final certification of the program, awarding them the qualification of a "bachelor" (degree); * Specialization - Confirmed once a student has successfully passed the final certification of the program, awarding them the qualification of a "specialist" (degree); * Master's degree - Confirmed once a student has successfully passed the final certification of the program, awarding them the qualification of a "master" (degree); * Training of highly qualified personnel (postgraduate and doctoral studies), awarding students a PhD.Branches of the university

On September 1, 2017, it halted all educational activities and only facilitated admission to the head university for part-time education using distance technologies. Since 2018, this branch has been completely abolished.Departments
