Throughout its existence, the structure of the university has been constantly evolving. In 1918, the Pedagogical Institute trained students in 4 areas only: physics and mathematics, natural sciences, geographical and historical, and philological. In 1930, about 100 students studied at the agronomic, physical-technical, chemical-biological and social-literary departments. By 1934, there appeared a workers’ faculty and an extramural department. By the beginning of the 40s, the institute had the following departments: physics and mathematics, natural sciences, history, the Russian language and literature. At that time, more than 1000 students studied and 88 professors worked at the Pedagogical Institute.
