Lviv National University

I STUDY AT THE COLLEGE

I study at the Lviv pedagogical college. It is a nice institution. It consists of three buildings. The main building is situated in Tuhan-Baranovski street. It is an old and nice three-storeyed building with more than 25 classrooms. There is also a concert hall and the museum of the college on the third floor, and a gymnasium on the ground floor. Besides there is one more building in Antonovych street and the musical department in Valova street.

I attend lectures 5 times a week. Every day I have 3-4 lectures, during which we listen, write, read an participate in different discussions.

The college was founded in 1871 as the state woman teaching school. In 1900 the main building was built. In 1921 the state school for tutors was settled. In 1948 it was renamed into pedagogical school №1. Besides school department also the pre-school department was organized.

In 90^th the institution develops much, new departments appear. So in 1993 the English department was organized, and in a year, in 1995 the German department as well. In 1996-97 the musical department was joined to our institution, and in 1998 it was renamed into Lviv pedagogical college and became a part of Lviv National University.

Today there are such departments at the college: English, German, pre-school education, primary school education, defectology, social pedagogic, musical and correspondence.

So as one can see Lviv pedagogical college prepares specialists in many useful professions, who will work for the development of our country.

LVIV NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Lviv National University is one of the best institutions in Lviv and well-known all over Ukraine. Its main building is rather old but it is beautiful. It is situated in Universytetska street in the centre of the town in front of a nice park.

The University was founded in 1661 and consisted of 4 faculties: philosophical, law, medical and theological. At that times studying at the University was accessible only for reach people. But anyway the University was always the centre of new ideas, scientific achievements.

After 1939 the University changes greatly. All plans, programs are renewed. Medical department became a separate institute. There appear 5 faculties: philological, historical, nature, law, physical-mathematical. Besides department by correspondence, post-graduate course. In 1940 it was named after I. Franko. 11.10.1999 the University was granted the title National.

Till 1991 there were 13 faculties at the University. During the independence period the institution developed greatly, and today there are 18 faculties, pedagogical, law and nature colleges, the institute of post graduate education. Besides University has in its structure 7 scientific-research institutes, observatory, botanical garden, scientific library which is 400 years old. There are 121 sub faculties at the University. Also here work about 1.5 thousand of teachers an there are about 28000 students who study 79 specialties.

Besides all that was named one can also notice that there are some international centers (German, French, Italian, British council) where students can find a lot of materials, information about the country they are interested in. University pays great attention to foreign cooperation, also it supports sport, amateur and professional performance, and if students want to spend their holidays in an interesting way, University can suggest to have a rest in camps and bases by the Black sea and in the Carpathians.

So I can advise everybody to try to enter Lviv National University because it is a very interesting institution which gives its students not only good knowledge, but also a lot of opportunities.
