History

In 1931, the Lipetsk Pedagogical Vocational School was established, which trained primary school teachers. In 1949, a teacher's institute was formed on the basis of the Lipetsk Pedagogical Vocational School.[1] At that time, the institute had about 200 students and 2 faculties: historical-philological and physical-mathematical.[2] In 1954, in connection with the acquisition of the status of a regional center by Lipetsk, by order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic dated 8 June 1954, the teacher's institute was transformed into the Lipetsk State Pedagogical Institute.

Since 1975, foreign students began to study at the institute.

On 10 October 2000, the institute was renamed into the Lipetsk State Pedagogical University.[3] In 2016, the university was named after Pyotr Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky, a Russian geographer and statistician.[4]
