Odessa State Environmental University was founded on 1 May 1932 in Kharkiv as Kharkiv Engineering Hydrometeorological Institute. Since July 1944 the institution was moved to Odessa and renamed Odessa Hydrometeorological Institute (OHMI).
Comprehensive development of higher education, continuous improvement of educational and scientific processes and development of infrastructure was the basis for the Government of Ukraine to transform Odessa Hydrometeorological Institute into a University. On 9 August 2001 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine created Odessa State Environmental University on the basis of OHMI.
Within the more than 85-year period of history of the University there developed two specific areas of training and research. On the one hand, historically, there developed a unique direction for Ukraine, related to training of engineering and research personnel in the field of Hydrometeorology and Monitoring of the Natural Environment. On the other hand, specific meteorological field of study provided for development of potent human resources, methodical and research basis for establishment of a University of Higher Environmental Education.
By the present time, Odessa State Environmental University has provided education for about 40,000 graduates, including about 2000 engineers, researchers, trainees, candidates and doctors for the 80 countries of the world, who have been trained since 1953. In the field of Hydrometeorology OSENU has been training specialists for the World Meteorological Organization for more than 50 years. The curricula for training specialists meet all international standards and are acknowledged by hydrometeorological services all over the world. Over 300 stall officers, the OSENU graduates, serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among the graduates there are many prominent scientists, researchers, environmental managers in the environmental and meteorological subdivisions of Ukraine, the CIS countries and many countries all around the world. 
Two of OSENU graduates, members of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Alioune Ndiaye and Oleg Sirotenko were among the awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (2007).
To support the study process, research and recreation of students there created good conditions such as modern educational, scientific and social infrastructure (canteen, sports hall and dormitories) of the University in the territory of a single campus in the resort district of Odessa. Since 2007, the University has put into operation a modern sports complex with a swimming pool, numerous game rooms, sports fields and pitches, a shooting range and tennis courts.
