Founded in 1976 on the basis of the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated September 3, 1974 No. 690 with the aim of forming a center of education, science and culture in the South Ural region, meeting the region's need for highly qualified personnel with fundamental university training.
The first rector of the university was Semyon Egorovich Matushkin, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Pedagogical Sciences (headed the university from 1976 to 1987). In 1987, he was replaced as rector by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, laureate of the USSR State Prize Valentin Dmitrievich Batukhtin (1987-2004). Since 2004, the university has been headed by Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor Andrey Yuryevich Shatin.
The university carries out level training of graduates in the main educational programs of higher professional education: bachelor's degree, specialist's degree, master's degree. It also implements pre-university training, postgraduate professional education, additional education and advanced training.
In the structure of the university, educational activities are carried out at 13 faculties and 7 educational and scientific institutes.
There are 3 branches in the structure of GOUVPO "ChelGU": in the city of Miass, the city of Troitsk, and also abroad - in the city of Kostanay of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
There are 4 dissertation councils for the defense of doctoral dissertations and 3 councils for the defense of master's theses.
Educational activities at ChelGU are carried out by highly qualified specialists, 67.6% of whom have an academic degree (academic title). Candidates of sciences, associate professors make up 53.4%, doctors of sciences, professors - 15.8%. The number of students enrolled in all forms of education today is about 24 thousand people.
From year to year, the circle of scientists working on grants from the European Commission "TEMPUS", the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, as well as scientific foundations: the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, the Russian Humanitarian Foundation, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, regional targeted programs: state support for fundamental scientific research and higher professional education and support of scientific creativity of youth in universities.
Chelyabinsk State University students and postgraduates annually become holders of scholarships from the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, the Governor of the Chelyabinsk Region, the Legislative Assembly of the Chelyabinsk Region, and the City Administration of Chelyabinsk.
ChelGU is the only Russian university involved in the development of the European Diploma Supplement "Diploma Supplement" and since 2001 was the first to start issuing them.
At the moment, the university is introducing a credit-modular system into the organization of the educational process.
The fundamental principle of the organization of scientific activity at the university remains the orientation towards the development of fundamental research in the natural sciences, the humanities and socio-economic areas, their balance with applied research, and the support of scientific schools.
At the Faculty of Mathematics, a full member of the Russian Academy of Sciences A. M. Il'in, who heads the school of Ural mathematicians who study asymptotic methods for solving equations of mathematical physics, conducts teaching and scientific activities. Under his leadership, the Regional Mathematical Seminar has been operating on the basis of the Chelyabinsk State University for several years, in which all the leading mathematicians of the Chelyabinsk region participate.
Under the guidance of Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor S.V.

The Department of Mathematical Analysis is headed by one of the youngest Doctors of Science in Russia at present, professor, winner of numerous grants V.E. Fedorov.
In total, more than thirty scientific schools are successfully developing at Chelyabinsk State University. Under the guidance of Professor V. D. Buchelnikov, applied and fundamental research in the field of physics of magnetic phenomena is being developed. Widely known in the Russian Federation is the Interuniversity Medical and Physical Center of the Chelyabinsk State University and the Chelyabinsk Medical Academy. In the center, under the guidance of Professor A.V. Lappa, unique methods of minimally invasive operations using lasers are being created.
In 2007, in order to develop fundamental research in the field of physics and chemistry of modern functional materials produced by the industry of the Urals and to develop modern materials, a Shared Use Center equipped with ultra-modern equipment was established at ChelGU. In particular, the multifunctional X-ray diffractometer D8 ADVANCE, which allows you to study the structure of a substance at the molecular level.
Under the guidance of Professor E.A. Belenkov, research is being conducted in the field of computer materials science, nanodiamonds and related carbon nanomaterials.
Since 1999, Professor L. A. Shkatova has been successfully leading the work of the university academic laboratory of intercultural communications, created on the basis of an agreement on scientific cooperation between the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and ChelGU. The Center for Research on Constitutional and Legal Problems of Sovereign Democracy, headed by Professor V.A. Lebedev.
