Pryazovskyi State Technical University (PSTU, Ukrainian: Приазовський державний технічний університет) is a higher education institution in Ukraine, accredited at the fourth level. It is one of the oldest universities in the Donetsk Region.
Before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, PSTU was located in Mariupol and was one of the largest higher education institutions in the Pryazovia region.
In March 2022, the university's Building 5 was struck by two heavy enemy aerial bombs, followed by additional hits that damaged other buildings, some completely destroyed. By order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine dated April 13, 2022, No. 334,[1] the university was relocated to the city of Dnipro, where it resumed operations in the facilities of the Dnipro University of Technology.
Currently, PSTU conducts its educational process in a distance format using modern digital technologies. The university is expanding its network of domestic and international partners and implementing programs of international academic mobility for students.
