University of Tyumen’s biological sciences began in 1930 with Agropedological Institute. At first, the Institute of Biology consisted of two classical departments: zoology and botany. Currently, the Institute of biology is among the leading biological education institutions in Russia. 
Presently, the Institute of Biology is a center of research and education fitted with cutting-edge laboratories and equipment, Internet classes, and a language lab. The Institute has its own greenhouse, a zoological museum, herbarium, and a library. Next to the academic building there is a dormitory for students.

The Institute of Biology also puts on annual schools for young (grades 8-11) physiologists, plant biologists, ichthyologists, microbiologists, taxidermists, as well as in decorative piscatology and aquarium husbandry along with the School of Professor Tsoi. Each department organizes these respective schools.
