The Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding in Mykolaiv is a higher education institution which trains specialists for the shipbuilding and allied industries of Ukraine. The university is named after the Russian admiral, Stepan Makarov, who was born in the city.
In April 1901, the Ministry of National Education of the Russian Empire announced the Mykolayiv Industrial Technical School. The school opened on 1 July 1902 at 3 Kuznechnaia street (now 5 Skorohodova street) marking the beginnings of the NUS. Teaching began on 18 September 1902 with courses including shipbuilding, mechanics, electrics and road building that was carried out in a department of works and in the school itself. The school had the status of a higher education institution: after three years of study, graduating students received the qualification of engineer.
In 1926 and 1927, the school was reorganised to teach technical shipbuilding and the course of study was lengthened to four years. The school was equipped with laboratories for metallurgy, chemistry, thermodynamics and engineering. In 1929 the Mykolayiv Shipbuilding Technical School was merged with the Mykolayiv Technical Night School and renamed the Mykolayiv Machine-building Institute and in 1930, in association with the ship building department of the Odessa Polytechnic Institute, it was renamed the Mykolayiv Shipbuilding Institute (MSI).
In 1941, at Russia's entry into World War II, the MSI employed 94 teachers and was training almost 700 students. Approximately 500 students, teachers and employees were conscripted to the Red Army and sent to the front. Others were tasked with building defensive structures and harvesting crops. The MSI was evacuated, first to Stalingrad, then to Astrakhan and later to Przhevalsk, Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic. During the war, the MSI maintained 22 departments and trained 370 students. On 30 June 1944, it was decided to return the MSI to Mykolayiv and on 1 October 1944, it reopened. In 1945, 36.5 million khrb was allocated to a five-year plan of restoration and development.
