# Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics

The Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (abbr. NURE, Ukrainian: Харківський національний університет радіоелектроніки, НУРЕ) is a technological State-sponsored university based in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Founded in 1930, it is among the oldest technologically focused universities in Ukraine, with a student body of around 7,000.
NURE has 7 faculties and 34 departments, with a primary focus on electrical engineering, electronics, telecommunications, and computer technologies.

## Foundation and history

NURE was founded in 1930 as the Kharkiv Engineering-Building Institute (KEBI), initially combining faculty from the Kharkiv Polytechnical Institute and architectural faculty of Kharkiv Art Institute. In 1934 the Kharkiv Geodetic Institute and Scientific Research Institute of Geodesy and Cartography entered the structure of the institute, which later became the largest higher education institution in Ukraine with 1734 students, 200 teachers and 4 faculties. In 2001 the university was advanced to a National University.

## University structure
