Introduction

What are the oldest Universities in Ukraine? uniRank answers this question by publishing a list of 189 Ukrainian Universities sorted by year of foundation and meeting the following uniRank selection criteria:

  • being chartered, licensed or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in Ukraine
  • offering at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees
  • delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format

uniRank aims to highlight which Ukrainian Universities have the longest history and tradition and whether this correlates to their uniRank University Ranking.
