UralGUFK is not only the most athletic university in Chelyabinsk, but also an educational institution that is one of the three best sports universities in Russia.

This university in Chelyabinsk has come a long and long way of development. For the first time, a higher educational institution was founded in 1970, as a branch of the Omsk State Institute of Physical Culture, becoming an independent institute 5 years later.

The active development of the university did not end there; in 1995, the higher education institution was reorganized into the Academy. 10 years later - in 2005 - UralGUFK Chelyabinsk became the university it is today.

The basis of the students of the Ural State University of Physical Culture are future coaches, but in addition to sports specialties, non-sports specialties have also received great development in this Chelyabinsk university in recent years.

Graduates of UralGUFK Chelyabinsk are accomplished coaches in more than 40 sports and other professionals in their field with the status of bachelor, master or specialist. Among the graduates of the Ural State University of Physical Culture there are names that glorified not only the Ural State University of Physical Culture and the Chelyabinsk region, but also Russia - hockey player Dmitry Kalinin, judoist Vitaly Makarov, biathlete Svetlana Ishmuratova and many others.

Much attention at this University of Chelyabinsk is paid to research activities. At the same time, not only teachers of Ural State University of Physical Culture take part in it, but also the students themselves, who from the 1st year represent the educational institution and the educational institution’s reports at conferences, seminars and competitions.

About the university

About the university
Ural contribution to the development of Russian sports

In conditions of intensive development of physical culture and sports in Russia, graduates of the Ural State University of Physical Culture are becoming increasingly in demand.

Success Rate

First of all, Ural State University of Physical Culture graduates are coaches and teachers of a variety of educational institutions. Every year, the only sports university in the Urals graduates more than 2,000 bachelors, specialists and masters in 40 sports and areas of medical and health work.

The latest innovations concern the opening at the university of directions in physical rehabilitation, non-traditional methods of healing, and physical culture of the East. Also, thanks to the university, the sports industry has recently begun to be replenished with specialists in the fields of law, economics, management, psychology, public relations and organizing work with youth.

UralGUFK has become a powerful base for providing the industry with personnel in various fields. At the same time, one of the big advantages is that specialists began to come into the country’s sports industry not “from outside”, but who received higher professional education at a specialized university and, thanks to this, have the most complete understanding of its features.

Over the past years, the university has not only been among the top three sports universities in Russia, but also occupies a leading position among specialized higher education institutions in the country. The names of its graduates are well known, as many of them became outstanding athletes. Not a single competition of the largest scale - both in Soviet and Russian history - was complete without the participation of students of UralGUFK. Among them are hockey players Sergei Mylnikov and Sergei Makarov, speed skating leader Tatyana Sidorova, judoist Grigory Verichev, marathon runner Leonid Moseev, swimmer Albert Bakaev and many other outstanding athletes who owe their education to the Chelyabinsk “sports” university.

And among today’s world sports stars there are many university graduates: biathlete Svetlana Ishmuratova, judoist Vitaly Makarov, hockey players Dmitry Kalinin, Evgeniy Malkin and Georgiy Gelashvili, volleyball player Ekaterina Gamova, as well as girls from the Uralochka water polo team. It would take a very long time to list famous athletes whose names are associated not only with great victories in Russian sports, but also with the university.

One thing is clear - UralGUFK has not lost its position over the years and is increasing the traditions established back in 1970, when the university appeared in Chelyabinsk as a branch of the Omsk State Institute of Physical Culture. Five years later, the university not only became independent, but also declared itself as an educational institution with great potential for training specialists in the field of sports. Today, more than 250 university students are members of Russian national teams.

Of course, it will not be possible to train the first young man you come across to become an outstanding athlete. But those who were able to pass the “sieve”, successfully passing the exams upon admission to Ural State University of Physical Culture, have every chance of making themselves an enviable career in the sports industry. The secret of educating professional athletes lies not only in modern approaches to the educational process. As befits in sports, students at UralGUFK from the first year are set up to win - and above all, in their studies.

The university united several structural divisions: the Chelyabinsk College of Physical Culture, the Chelyabinsk Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Education and the Interindustry Regional Center for Advanced Training and Professional Retraining of Physical Education Personnel. A large scientific and educational complex, which is now the Ural State University of Physical Culture, provides the learning process from pre-university training to advanced training of certified specialists. Today, university graduates work in physical culture and sports organizations, educational institutions and other enterprises not only in the Ural Federal District, but also in the Kama region, Kazakhstan, Bashkortostan, Tatarstan and other regions of Russia and the CIS countries.

High importance tasks

Of course, students themselves also take part in the research activities of Ural State University of Physical Culture. As a rule, they represent the university at various conferences, competitions and olympiads at the city, regional and district levels. The university management supports students' motivation for research activities and, in general, for acquiring knowledge, creating for them the most favorable conditions for both study and leisure.

Thus, from the first days of study, they try to adapt freshmen to the university as quickly as possible and include them in active student life. In 2006, a new dormitory building with 535 places was opened for future sports specialists. To organize leisure time for young people at Ural State University of Physical Culture, there are a variety of creative groups, ranging from a traditional vocal ensemble to a sports dance studio.

But the main thing that students are encouraged to do at a “sports” university is, of course, study. As part of the gathering of excellent students from sports universities in Russia, a dozen of the best students of Ural State University of Physical Culture annually vacation in the resorts of Cyprus and Turkey. So the incentive to study and lead a healthy lifestyle at the Ural State University of Physical Culture is significant. And, given the specialization of the university, sports and recreational work is one of the highest priorities here. Since the sports industry is associated with health, the athlete, in the understanding of the average person, personifies not only the desire for self-improvement, but also a healthy lifestyle to achieve the highest results. Therefore, he should set an example for those who are just about to join the sport.

The successes of modern Russian athletes are now associated with raising the prestige of Russia at the global level, so high hopes are pinned on them not only by fans, but also by the state. And for this, the country creates the necessary conditions for athletes within the framework of an improving sports industry. It, in turn, must possess the latest scientific developments and be staffed by professionals. The Ural State University of Physical Culture makes a significant contribution to the implementation of this, without exaggeration, national task.

The history of the Ural State University of Physical Culture dates back to 1970, when a branch of the Omsk State Institute of Physical Culture was opened in Chelyabinsk. After 25 years, it was transformed into the Ural State Academy of Physical Culture, and in 2005 the academy deservedly became a university.

Today, UralGUFK is not just the only sports university in the Urals, but an entire methodological center for sports, physical education and health work in the Ural Federal District and adjacent regions. Every year, the university graduates about 2 thousand bachelors and master’s students in 40 sports, as well as specialists in health technologies. The structure of the University includes the Ekaterinburg, Sterlitamak and Ufa branches, a doctoral dissertation council, the Olympic Sports Research Institute, etc. Thanks to Ural State University of Physical Culture, the Russian sports industry is steadily replenished with specialists in the field of economics and management, law and psychology, public relations and adaptive physical culture.
