The date of foundation of Odessa Imperial Novorossiya University is considered May 13, 1865. The separate Faculty of biology had not been among the four faculties that were part of an educational institution. The biology education at the Imperial Novorossiya University was obtained based on the Natural department of Physics and Mathematics. This department's structure included: Department of Botany and Department of Zoology, Comparative Anatomy and Physiology. As part of the Zoology Department were zoological, anatomical, zootomical and physiological classrooms – "Cabinets". The Collection of natural exhibits belonged to the Cabinets of departments (they became the basis of modern museums of Odessa National University). There were laboratory facilities, where students conducted practical exercises and experiments and carried out research work. This successful defence allowed to receive diplomas of a higher educational institution. The botany department included two Cabinets: botany and physiology since 1895 based on this department were founded laboratory of microbiology. The natural branch of Physics and Mathematics Department originally was located in the building. Now there is Scientific Library of Odesa National University in the street of the Preobrazhenska, 24, and then into the building on the street Dvorianska, 2. In the early years of the natural department, an essential role in the development of research and basis organizing for the further development of biological science have played a prominent world-renowned scientist: I. I. Mechnikov - zoologist and anthropologist, L. S. Tsenkovsky - a botanist and microbiologist, I. M. Sechenov - physiologist and O. O. Kovalevsky - embryologist, comparative anatomist and histologist. Much attention was paid to the study of flora and fauna of the region, the Black Sea and its estuaries. Establishment of such units at the University as a zoological museum (1865), and the Botanical Garden (1867), as well as the creation and preservation of herbarium collections (1865), contributed to this studies. After the October Revolution (1917), Imperial Novorossiya University has undergone several reorganizations. In 1920 on its base were created three institutions, such as Medical Institute, Physics and Mathematics Institute, and Humanities and Social Institute. The last two fairly soon became part of the Institute of Public Education (ISE), and since 1930 - the Institute of Vocational Education (IEP). Biological disciplines in these institutions were taught in separate departments. Only from September 1, 1933, after the Odessa State University (biological Faculty was in its structure), the teaching of biological disciplines has risen to the appropriate level of education. These departments were included in the first list of the Biological Faculty: Zoology, headed by professor D. K.

In July 1941, the Faculty of Biology with the University were evacuated to the city of Maikop of Adygei Autonomous Region. During the Maikop period took place two graduations of students-biologists. In late 1942, the University was evacuated to the city of Bairam-Ali Turkmen SSR. It also continued to work - conducted classes and field practices for students up to University's return to liberated Odesa in April 1944. In 1941, when the Romanians have occupied Odesa, they opened the "Odesa University" based on OSU. At this, university classes were conducted by the teachers who failed to evacuate themselves for the same students. The Transnistria authorities have proposed to continue education for them. In March 1944, it was the last graduation of this educational institution with the issuance of diplomas. After the Soviet troops' Odesa liberation, these students were graduating in the Odesa State University, which has renewed work with September 1, 1944. As a result of military operations, many buildings were destroyed in Odessa, including some university housings. Upon his return to Odessa in 1944, the Faculty of Biology 10 years held at the old place in 1955 it together with the Zoological Museum was transferred to the area reserved for the campus, in the building of post-war construction, at the address: Champagne lane 2, where it is to this day.

In Odesa's life, there was a significant event, which left a significant mark in the history of medical education in Ukraine. For many years, it determined its prospect - the medical faculty of the Novorossiysk University was opened. The faculty had brilliant prospects, as some prominent, world-renowned scientists worked there. Before the faculty's opening, the construction of the main buildings and clinics, which were built on the last word of building and architectural art, was completed. Admittedly, this faculty was the most prestigious and most equipped medical, educational institution in Russia of those times. However, this successful start was suspended by the war between Russia and Japan, the revolutionary events of 1905-1907, the First World War of 1914-1918, the October Revolution of 1917, and the Civil War. Some time was meant to pass before a slow rise of the new higher education system started on the new bases after the destruction of the old one. However, the positive things laid in the pre-revolutionary times soon began to pay off. The medical faculty of Novorossiysk University was reformed into an independent higher educational institution - a medical institute, which again turned into the leading university of the south of the country. In the 20s of the last century, the primary scientific schools, that brought the world-famous glory to Odessa Medical Institute, were actively forming and developing. One of them was Odessa Therapeutic School, founded by the students of S.P.Botkin - professors S.V. Levashov and P.O.Valter, their successors, were L.P.Dmitrenko, M.D.Strazhesko, F.G. Yanovsky, M.O. Yasinovsky. At the same time, Odessa Ophthalmologic School, with Professor S.S. Galvin as one of its founders, was also thriving. Its further formation and world recognition are associated with the name of Academician V.P. Filatov. Over the years of independent Ukraine, our university has turned into one of the leading medical universities of the IV level of accreditation. It is a member of the International and European Association of Universities. Due to this, the level of training of students and specialists is close to world standards. Today, about 6 thousand students and trainees study at six faculties and 58 departments, 1300 of them are citizens of 52 foreign countries. The teaching of international students is carried out in Russian, Ukrainian and English. Postgraduate education is provided for 250 postgraduate students, trainees, masters and medical residents. The multi-field medical centre of ONMedU is a teaching and research unit of the Odessa National Medical University. The centre's primary function is to provide training and qualification of medical personnel for higher education standards, carrying out research, development, testing and implementation of innovative medical technologies, provision of highly specialized medical care to the population, including emergency medical care. This requires the introduction of modern diagnostic technologies, treatment and medical rehabilitation, availability of special high-tech equipment, and allows to carry out minimally invasive, endoscopic, endovascular, preserving organs, reconstructive-plastic interventions to surgical, gynaecological and other patients, modern treatment of cardiorheumatic patients and children. Employees of the clinic provide 24\7 medical care to Odessa's population, according to the duty schedule approved by the university administration and the Department of Health of Odessa. Consulting and diagnostic assistance to other health care facilities are also provided.

The University central building is an architectural monument of the early XIX-th century. This educational establishment was founded in 1818 as the Institute for Noble Maidens. The walls of the Noble Maidens' Institute saw I.P.Kotlyarevsky and T.G.Shevchenko. The outstanding personalities of Ukrainian, Czech, Russian history and culture used to work as teachers at the Institute. Among the graduates of this educational establishment were O.S.Pushkin's and M.V.Gogol's great-granddaughters, famous Ukrainian democratic writer Lyubov Yanovska. Founded in the summer of 1930 as the Farm Building Engineers Institute, this educational institution was reformed into the Civil Engineering Institute in the 1960s. During the Ukrainian State's independence formation period, the research and teaching staff rapidly reformed the one-field building engineering institute into the multi-field technical University (1993) meeting the region's demand for experts in nearly 30 specialities. In 1997, on the occasion of the 100-the anniversary of the outstanding cosmonautics theorist from Poltava, a brilliant engineer and inventor, Yuri Kondratyuk (Olexandr Sharkey), according to the Ukrainian Government's decision, the University was awarded his name. In 2002 the University was given the national one's status for its notable contribution to national science and education development and was internationally recognized. It is training over 10 thousand students from 23 regions of Ukraine and 11 foreign countries. In April 2010, the University staff was awarded the Honorary Certificate by the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers. The University is located in a picturesque area of Poltava, with nine academic buildings, a cosy campus with five hostels with a students' canteen, an Internet club, a prophylactic sanatorium, and an entertainment centre. In the pine forest, near the village of Vakulentsy, there is a training recreation centre "Vorskla", where students relax, undergo their geodesy training practice and where the best University sportsmen refresh. We are proud of our leading scholars: winners of Ukraine's State Prizes in the sphere of science, engineering and architecture doctors of sciences, professors, who are contributing to the national research and education potential by their innovative ideas and studies. When choosing your path in life, you are welcome to use the accumulated experience of teaching over 65 thousand highly qualified specialists, trained by the University research and teaching staff for the benefit of Ukraine and the world.

The National Agricultural University is a leading institution of higher education in Ukraine. The history of it begins with the Department of Agriculture's foundation within the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI) structure, which transformed into the Faculty of Agricultural faculty in 1918. Kyiv Agricultural Institute was created in KPI based on this faculty, and in 1923 this Institute became the independent educational institution. From 1930 till 1934, Kyiv Institute of Agronomy, Kyiv Institute of Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture, Kyiv Ag Engineering Institute of Sugar Industry and Ag Economics Institute had been formed and begun their activity there. These institutes were later reorganized into independent research institutes and faculties. Kyiv Forestry Institute began its history in 1840 from the Faculty of Forestry of the Institute of Agriculture and Forestry in Mariemont (Poland) which moved to the city Novoaleksandria (now Pulavy) in 1862. After the beginning of the 1st World War (1914), the Novoaleksandrian Institute of Agriculture and Forestry was transferred to Kharkiv, and in 1921 it became Kharkiv Institute of Agriculture and Forestry. In 1930 the Forestry faculty of Kharkiv Agrarian Institute was united with the Forest Engineering faculty of Kyiv Agrarian Institute. As a result, Ukrainian Forest Technical Institute appeared and was reorganized into Kyiv Forestry Institute the same year. In 1954 Kyiv Agricultural Institute was united with Ukrainian Forestry Institute into the Ukrainian Agricultural Academy (UAA). Between 1956 and 1962 UAA was the educational department of Ukrainian Academy of Agricultural sciences. In 1957 Kyiv Veterinarian Institute was added to its structure. Kyiv Veterinarian Institute begins its history with the Veterinarian faculty of KPI (1920) which was transformed into the independent institution of higher education – Kyiv Veterinarian and Stock-breeding Institute from which Kyiv Veterinarian Institute separated in 1930. Since 1962 UAA had become subordinated to the Ministry of Agriculture of the USSR. In 1982, the Academy's subsidiary in Vinnytsya was founded, and in 1991 it became the independent institution (now Vinnytsya State Agrarian University). During the years 1985-1990 UAA had been helping in and coordinating the activities aimed for creating an agricultural institute in the city of Pnom-Penh (Cambodia). Based on UAA National Agrarian University was founded in August 1992. According to the Decree of the Verkhovna Rada (the Parliament) of Ukraine, №158 made on July 29, 1994; it received the status of National. Since that time, it has been named National Agrarian University and following the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine № 387 made on June 1, 1995, it is under the applicable rule of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Accordingly to the Decree of Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of April 23, 1996, #448 and of May 29, 1997, #526 Nizhyn (Chernigiv region) and Berezhany (Ternopil region) Agrotechnical Colleges, Irpin Economic Technical School, Boyarka, Nemishaevo (Kyiv region) and Zalischyky (Ternopil region) Agricultural Technical Schools were included into the structure of NAUU. Their rights of legal persons are saved. In 1999 due to accreditation results Irpin and Nemishaevo Technical Schools were granted status "College" and in 2002 Nizhyn and Berezhany Colleges received the status "Institute". Accordingly to the Decree of Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of 28.07.2004 № 517-р., joint Order of Ministry of Agricultural Policy of Ukraine and National Agricultural University of 18.08.2004 р. № 304/377 the Southern Branch "Crimean Agrotechnological University" of National Agricultural University was created (via.

The Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy is the successor of the rich artistic, educational, and scientific traditions of the Conservatory of Galician Music Society, the Mykola Lysenko Higher Musical Institut, The Karol Szymanowski Conservatory, and the Faculty of Musicology of Lviv University. The academy, which arose from renaming and combining these institutions, is the oldest higher musical school in Ukraine and one of the oldest among Eastern and Central Europe. The system of higher music education in Galicia, from its beginning until the mid-twentieth century, has always been incorporated in the evolution of higher music education in Europe. However, after 1939, for many decades, the Ukrainian system of higher musical education was completely separate from the natural processes of music education in Europe. Citizens of Canada, China, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Iran, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and the USA studied at the Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy at different times and under various international agreements and programs. In 2000, the International cooperation unit was set up to work with international students., The unit's task was to ensure the proper organization of the reception, training, and visa support of foreign citizens. The Vice-rector heads the International cooperation unit for international relations – assoc. The Prof. Ostap Maychyk Learning process supervises Ms. Maria Savchuk Yuriy Hryhorash is responsible for documentation of passport and visa services and health insurance. The academy's medical point can serve international students (located at Zelena str., 96 at Student house and Municipally clinic No.1 at Rus'ka str., 20. Ukrainian insurance company "PROSTO strakhuvannya" ["JUST insurance"] is a leading partner of the Academy for Health insurance of foreigners. Foreign students receive a "Certificate of emergency medical aid to foreign citizens."The licensed amount of international students for every year is 50 people. Our goal for the next five years should be to fully overcome the long-term historical isolation through a qualitative change in the structure of education in the Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy via combining deep traditions with the best actual trends of music education in Europe. To achieve this goal, we should realize several objectives. Objectives of our academy are: Intensification and further development of cooperation between the Academy and partner institutions in Europe and elsewhere. Establishing new contacts with music academies and other musical institutions in Europe and elsewhere. Further development of the academy's curriculum under the new legislation on education and actual trends of European music education. Changing the programs of subjects based on known European music universities and partner institutions of the European Union and Norway and post-Soviet countries that integrate its education system into the European educational process. Broadening the use of new technologies in the educational process. Broadening alternative forms of education (workshops, master-classes, courses, etc.) with broad participation of foreign experts. Increasing the number of subjects from the field of jazz music and creating the jazz department to get specialization "jazz musician" for students. Development and broadening of the Experimental educational studio for electroacoustic music and audio recording. Broadening of the number of disciplines from the field of "Music production" and "Music computer technologies" in the curriculum with the ability to get specialization "sound engineer," "sound register," "electroacoustic composition," etc. for students. Development and broadening of the subjects from the field of interpretation of renaissance, baroque and early classical music with the perspective of the ability to specialize for students "specialist in the field of historical performance." Implementation and development of the programs of staff and students mobility. The academy allows students to live at Student House for 300 places. The Student House is located at Zelena str., 96.
