The most prestigious university in Ukraine

Kyiv University or Shevchenko University or officially the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is located in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. It was founded in 1834 by the Russian Tsar Nikolai I[1] as the Kyiv Imperial University of Saint Vladimir, and since then it has changed its name several times. During the Soviet Union era, Kiev State University was one of the top-three universities in the USSR, along with Moscow State University and Leningrad State University. The university is still universally recognized as the most prestigious university in Ukraine, being the largest national higher education institution.

History

In 1939, Saint Vladimir University was renamed after Taras Shevchenko. During the World War II, the university was evacuated to the city of Kizilord in Kazakhstan, where it merged with the National University of Kharkiv to form the United Ukrainian State University. After the liberation of Kyiv in 1943, the university returned to Kyiv. Students and lecturers rebuilt the Humanities and Chemistry buildings and by 15 January 1944, classes resumed for senior undergraduates and for first-years on 1 February.[2]

Since 1960, when the first international students were admitted, over 20,000 highly qualified specialists have been trained at Taras Shevchenko University for 120 countries. The first foreign students of the Taras Shevchenko University came from Cuba, Guinea, Indonesia, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Benin, Zanzibar, Yemen, Algeria, and Afghanistan. They continued on to become doctors, engineers, agriculturists, diplomats, economists, and statesmen in their respective countries.[3]
