Kherson National Technical University

Kherson National Technical University (Херсонський національний технічний університет) is a technical institution in Kherson, Ukraine.

History
The university was established in 1959 by a group of visiting students who were employed at Kherson Cotton, an organized training and consulting point (NCP) affiliated with the Kyiv Technological Institute of Light Industry. In 1960, the Faculty of General Studies (BTF) was founded, utilizing the resources and structure of the NCP as its foundation.

Under the directive of the Ministry of Education of the USSR, the Kherson Faculty of General Studies (BTF) was transferred to the Odesa Technological Institute of Food Industry University, now known as the Mykolayiv V. O. Sukhomlynsky National University (OTIHP), in 1961. This decision led to the integration of the Kherson BTF into the academic structure of the OTIHP.

In 1962, the Kherson branch of the Odesa Technological Institute (OTIHP) was established, comprising two faculties: Mechanics and General Technical and Technological. Following its establishment, the Kherson branch experienced rapid growth and development.

In December 1980, the Kherson Industrial Institute was founded based on the branch of the OTIHP. It became the only university in Ukraine that focused on training engineers for the primary processing of flax, weaving and spinning.

In 1997, the Kherson Industrial Institute established a postsecondary education program, as per the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decree dated March 24, 1997, No. 254. Furthermore, on November 15, 2004, by the decree of the President of Ukraine No. 1403/2004, the Kherson Industrial Institute was granted national status for its postsecondary education program.
