Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas (Ukrainian: Івано-Франківський національний технічний університет нафти і газу) is an institution of higher education in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine.
Since its establishment in 1967, the university's focus remains on preparing qualified and experienced specialists for the oil and gas industries. However, it has expanded to offer education in economics, management and law that is directly related to the needs of energy industry.
Ivano-Frankivsk Oil and Gas University has a two-pronged approach toward education of its students: in the classrooms and in the field. In the classroom, students are provided the theoretical knowledge. Then, by working at university "field-classrooms" or by holding internships with regional businesses and organizations, the future specialists gain practical experience.
