Ivan Franko National University of Lviv

In 1661, the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv was founded as a Jesuit institution. When Galicia joined the Republic of Poland in 1919, the university’s two initial faculties—philosophy and theology—were renamed in his honour. It adopted the name Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in 1940, in honour of the illustrious Ukrainian author, politician, and activist. In the 1870s, Ivan Franko attended the university’s faculty of philosophy. One of the first universities in Eastern Europe, it was made a national university in 1999. The university has 17 faculties, including those in biology, chemistry, journalism, economics, electronics, philology, philosophy, physics, geography, geology, history, foreign languages, culture, and art, as well as law, mechanics, and mathematics. Three colleges, an institute for postgraduate study, and pre-university training are also included. The economics department has locations in Chervonohrad and Sambor. Some of the best in Eastern Europe are thought to have mathematics departments. The curriculum was heavily influenced by Stefan Banach, the founder of functional analysis and a former professor and researcher. There are numerous science and research facilities on campus, and the university produces more than 40 scientific magazines. A botanical garden, an observatory for astronomy, six museums, seven institutes, and about 17 laboratories are among them. A national heritage designation has been given to six of the university’s buildings. We has established over 90 agreements with other universities and higher education institutions from 33 different countries. They are situated in Western Ukraine’s Lviv Oblast. With a population of roughly 730,000, it ranks as the seventh-largest city in the Ukraine.
