Topic 36. Educational Establishments in Ukrain

National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy

National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA) is a national, coeducational research university located in Kiev, Ukraine. The Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, the school's predecessor, was established in 1632. The NaUKMA is located on the Academy's grounds. In 1991, it was re-organized, and teaching began the following year. NaUKMA has the highest level of accreditation. It is one of the thirteen educational institutions in Ukraine having a status of a research and autonomous university. The university is bilingual: the studies are held in Ukrainian and English. It is one of Ukraine’s few universities with internationally recognized diplomas.

With around 3 000 students, NaUKMA is one of the smallest universities in Ukraine. Its multiple-choice entrance examinations make university admission a highly competitive process. Among the most notable alumni of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy were hetmans Ivan Mazepa, Pylyp Orlyk, Pavlo Polubotok and Ivan Skoropadsky, composers Artemij Vedel and Maksym Beresovsky, philosopher Hryhori Skovoroda and scientist Myhailo Lomonosov. The university is known as pro-Western and served as headquarters for Orange Revolution activists.

The Academy was first opened in 1615 as the school of the Kiev bratstvo. In 1632 the Kiev Pechersk Lavra school and Kiev Brotherhood School merged into the Kyiv-Mohyla Collegium. The Collegium was named Mohylyans'kiy (after Petro Mohyla). In 1658 the Collegium got the status of an Academy. The Academy educated Ukrainian political and intellectual elite in the 17th and 18th centuries. Many students from Poland, Russia, Belarus, Moldavia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece studied there. The students of all social classes could enter this academy. The Kyiv-Mohyla Academy also supported a number of other colleges built on its model, such as the Vasilian College in Moldova (Moldavia).

Hetmans of the Zaporozhian Cossacks actively supported the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. The school flourished under the term of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, an alumnus.

The NaUKMA was the first university of which students and professors openly protested against the massive electoral selection fraud during the Ukrainian presidential election in 2004. After those events a museum dedicated to the Orange Revolution was opened at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

Faculties of NaUKMA are: Faculty of Computer Sciences; Faculty of Economics; Faculty of Humanities; Faculty of Law; Faculty of Natural Sciences; Faculty of Social Sciences and Social Technologies; University Department of English Language; University Department of Physical Training.
