12. Read the following text and translate it, paying special attention to the terminology.
The term "higher education" refers to learning institutions that students can attend after they have finished school. The university is the best-known kind of higher education establishment. Other kinds bear such titles as college, institute, academy, polytechnic, or higher school. However, these other titles can be confusing, since they have other meanings in some countries. For example, in most countries the word "college" means a higher learning institution, while in nations with a British or Spanish tradition, college may also mean a private secondary school.
The usual way universities differ from other kinds of higher education establishment is in the wider range of subject matter universities offer. A typical university provides opportunities for students to specialize in fields of science (physics, chemistry, geology, biology, astronomy), social science (anthropology, psychology, sociology, economics), the humanities (history, philosophy, literature, languages), the creative arts (painting, music, dance, drama), and more. In addition, universities prepare students to enter particular occupations - to become architects, engineers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, agricultural experts, accountants, business administrators, and the like.

Text: Kyiv University
Higher education in Kyiv dates back to the first half of the 17lh century when the Kyiv Mohyla Academy was founded. Following its best traditions some two hundred years later, a new entity was formed to become one of the foremost centres of learning in the world, today's Taras Shevchenko National University in Kyiv.
On the 29th of August 1834, the first lectures were given at Kyiv University. Originally located in a borrowed building, the University was named after Saint Volodymyr, and had only 62 students and two departments, the Department of History and Philology and the Department of Physics and Mathematics. Its first rector was a young Professor of Botany and a person of encyclopaedic knowledge M. Maxymovych, whose contribution to the development of history, archaeology and literary studies was massive. Among the lecturers of the University was an outstanding architect Vikentiy Beretti, who had come to Kyiv after winning a major tender for the design of a new central building for the new University. In 1837 construction of the new building in Volodymyrska began. Beretti did not live to see his project completed, which after his death was taken over by his son Alexander Beretti. This University building in Volodymyrska is known by everybody as the red building of the University and is an outstanding example of classicist architecture of the first half of the XIX century. Meanwhile the University was growing: the Faculty of Law was formed in 1835 and the Faculty of Medicine in 1837. Others followed, until today the University comprises 16 Faculties and four Institutes, with some 20 000 students.
Among the brightest highlights of Ukrainian history are the names of the University professors and graduates who made a significant contribution to the development of Science, the Arts and Progressive thought in Ukraine. Amongst the most prominent are the historians and linguists M. Maxymovych, M. Drahomanov and M. Kostomarov, lawyers K. Nevolin, O. Kistiakivskyi, mathematicians D. Grave, M. Boholyubov, chemists A. Babko, S. Reformat- skyi, biochemist O. Palladin, playwright M. Starytskyi, poet M. Rylskyi, composer M. Lysenko and so many others.
The poet and democrat Taras Shevchenko worked at the University from 1845 to 1847, as a member of the commission dealing with history and archaeology. When in 1847 the Brotherhood of Cyril and Methodius was broken up and Shevchenko was arrested, he was forced to leave, but his ties with the University continued. In 1939, to honour the name of the great son of the Ukrainian people the University was renamed after Taras Shevchenko.
Today the University educates the best minds undertaking research in many academic fields. Its graduates work in all areas of the national economy. It is the number one University and a major centre of academic learning, which has ties with many academic and learning establishments throughout the world.
