In 1917 the municipal language courses were established in Nizhny Novgorod. Based on those courses, the Gorky Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages was founded in 1937. Initially, the Institute trained teachers of English, German, French, and Spanish for secondary schools and had, respectively, three faculties: English, German, and Romance languages.
In 1964, the Faculty of Translation of Western European languages was established. In 1994 the institute was given the status of a Linguistic University.
