Since its founding in 1974, Dostoevsky Omsk State University (OmSU) has earned a reputation as a leader in multifunctional research, teaching, and cultural complex.

Ranked the best university in the Omsk region and one of the best universities on the list of “100 best Universities of Russia”, OmSU is home to excellence in teaching and advanced research. OmSU has one Institute, 12 faculties, and as a classical university offers 112 degree programs not only in law, humanities, and natural sciences but also in theology, culture, and arts.

The combination of art and technology helped shape the notion of the university as a place of both science and creativity.

OmSU embraces its connections to the world and develops international relations with the universities of Europe, the USA, Mexico, Japan, China, Kazakhstan, and other countries.
