History
On October 1, 1930, the opening of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute of the Leather Industry, created by the decision of the Supreme Council of the National Economy on the basis of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, took place.
The founders of the educational institution were: Alexander Markovich Ginzburg (director), associate professor Mikhail Pavlovich Kotov (later professor, doctor of technical sciences, honored worker of science and technology), professor Yury Dmitrievich Sokolov (later a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR), professor P. E. Dushsky. , Associate Professor Kazansky N. G. (later Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor), Nikitin V. N., Pospekhov D. A., Topolyansky M. G. and others. The first legal address of the modern university was: Bolshaya Zhitomirskaya street 32.
At the time of opening, the institute included 3 faculties: chemical-technological, mechanical-technological, engineering-economic. In 1930, enrollment for 1 course was announced. The second, third and fourth courses were staffed by students from the Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa polytechnic institutes.
In the 1930-1931 academic year, 32 teachers worked at the institute.
The first graduation of specialists took place in 1932. During the first 5 years (1931-1935) the Institute trained 102 engineers. The annual graduation in 1936 and 1937 amounted to 110 specialists.
Since 1937, the university (then the institute) has been located on Nemirovich-Danchenko Street 2 (at that time Klovskaya Street, 16), where before the revolution there were barracks of the Mirgorodsky Cavalry Regiment. The building on Bolshaya Zhitomirskaya Street was transferred to a hostel.

Evacuation during the Second World War
From the first days of the war, many teachers, staff, graduates and students of the Institute voluntarily joined the Red Army. They participated in the fighting on all fronts of the Second World War.
At the end of June 1941, the institute received an order to prepare for evacuation. And already on October 1, 1941, two car trains with property and a small amount of staff of the Institute arrived at the Khrompik station in the city of Pervouralsk, Sverdlovsk Region.

In June 1944, the institute returned to Kyiv and began to train specialists not only from the available specialties (chemical-technological, mechanical-technological, engineering-economic), but also in two specialties “Technology of clothing production” and “Technology of knitwear production”. Since that time, the institute has been called the Kyiv Technological Institute of Light Industry (KTILP). Under this name the institute existed for 48 years.
Nowadays
In 1993, the Kyiv Technological Institute of Light Industry was accredited and renamed the State Academy of Light Industry of Ukraine (GALPU), and on August 30, 1999 - the Kyiv State University of Technology and Design (KGUTD).
Given the national and international recognition of the results of activities and a significant contribution to the development of national education and science, by decree of the President of Ukraine L. D. Kuchma dated August 07, 2001 No. 591/2001, the university received the status of a national university and became known as the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design).
In 2015, by the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers, a higher educational institution, the Intersectoral Academy of Management, was attached to KNUTD.
