History

Institute of International Relations was established in response to a great need for professionals with an excellent command of foreign languages and deep knowledge in the field of theory and practice of international culture and international relations in the Ural region. The regional government adopted a program of staffing of international activity, which IIR was an active participant.

Institute of International Relations was founded in 1994 as Ekaterinburg College of Foreign Languages. ECFL offered a limited number of courses in rented office space in 1994 and 1995 but opened officially, for full operation, in 1997 with the completion of the building on Ul. Rosa Luksemburg, 46. Ekaterinburg College of Foreign Languages was upgraded to a university and officially began operation as IIR on September 1, 1997.

In April 2016, the institute's government accreditation was cancelled.
