Ivan Franko National University of Lviv - LNU (reviews)

Studying at LNU was my dream for many years as it is supposed to be one of the best universities in Ukraine. Through four years of studies I understood that my objectives were too high and, unfortunately, I didn’t receive what I was promised. The educational system is quite old-fashion, there’s a lack of practice and too much material that is unapplicable in the real life. Nevertheless, there’re many dedicated professors who make a great effort to apply modern methods to the curriculum and give the students the maximum they can. With that being said, I wouldn’t recommend you this university if you are looking for modern approaches to education.

I really don’t like this university. Some professors are rude and strange, don’t explain the material as it should be done. They twice lost my documents and said I did not bring it. The studying process is badly organised, we receive our schedule 1-2 days before studying should start, we receive the dates of our exams one-two weeks before their start.

Ivan Franko University is one of the oldest universities in Eastern Europe and the oldest university in Ukraine !.
After three years of study at the university, I can say with confidence that here everyone can get an opportunity to achieve their goal, and the dean’s office always meets any initiatives from the students. Participation in scientific conferences, the creation of a student club, the organization of an event inside the walls of the university-all this can easily be approved and supported, and if successful, such initiatives are encouraged and funded. The hostel here is quite comfy.Push it and the old university, but I can recommend it to others as there are very good teachers here who will always go to the meeting!

This university is a great place to start an education when you don’t know what you are looking for. First, four years of studies give a good basic understanding of a major you chose. The minuses include too many classes vaguely connected to the major and slightly outdated educational program.
