The history of the University began in 1966, when the General engineering faculty of the North-Western Extramural Polytechnic Institute (NWPI) was founded in Vologda. There was only evening and extramural training at the faculty. In 1967 the faculty was reorganized into the Vologda Branch of the NWPI. There were only 2 faculties:
