Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (NURE) states on its official site that in the World University Rankings 2026 for International Students it ranks first among 162 universities in Ukraine (316th in Europe). We have not been able to identify the body that publishes that ranking, so treat it as the university’s own claim. Founded in 1930, the university has evolved through several distinct institutional identities and is today a technology-focused university for electrical engineering, electronics, telecommunications, and computer technologies.
History
NURE was founded in 1930 as the Kharkiv Engineering-Building Institute, combining faculty from the Kharkiv Polytechnical Institute and the architectural faculty of Kharkiv Art Institute. It was reorganised and renamed several times over the following decades: to the Kharkiv Mining and Industrial Institute of the Coal Industry of the USSR in 1944, the Kharkiv Institute of Mining Machine Building, Automatics, and Computer Engineering in 1962, and the Kharkiv Institute of Radio Electronics in 1966. It became the Kharkiv State Technical University of Radio Electronics in 1993, and has had its current name since 2001.
Faculties and Focus
NURE has 6 faculties and 27 departments, with its academic focus concentrated on electrical engineering, electronics, telecommunications, and computer technologies — a genuinely specialised technology profile rather than a broad general-engineering curriculum.
International Students
NURE’s official site gives more than 6,000 students across 46 specialties in 7 areas of knowledge; it does not state a current international-student figure that we could verify.
Why Choose Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics?
NURE suits students who want a technology-focused degree: its focus is electrical engineering, electronics, telecommunications, and computer technologies. Its claimed first-place ranking for international students is the university’s own statement and we have not independently verified it, so check what matters to you directly with the university.
