Basic information and contact details for Lviv State University of Life Safety

institution

The University of Lviv is the oldest institution of higher learning in present-day Ukraine, dating back to 1661, when its first royal charter was granted by King John II Casimir of Poland. Throughout its history, the university has undergone various transformations, suspensions and name changes as a result of the geopolitical complexities of the region. It is located in the historic city of Lviv, in Western Ukraine.

The declaration of Ukraine's independence in 1991 brought significant changes to the university's life. New faculties and departments were established to meet evolving requirements, and new units for teaching and research were created.

The university offers a range of faculties, including applied mathematics and informatics, international relations, biology, journalism, chemistry, law, economics, mechanics and mathematics, electronics, philology, foreign languages, philosophy, geography, physics, geology, history and preuniversity training, along with several departments for specialised studies.

To support research and academic endeavours, the university houses various research divisions and facilities, including the university library, scientific research department, zoological museum, journal of physical studies, institute of archaeology, Ukrainian journal of computational linguistics, media ecology institute, institute for historical research, regional agency for sustainable development, botanical garden, Nato winter academy in Lviv and the scientific technical and educational centre of low-temperature studies.
