History of the department

The Department of Oriental Studies named after Professor Yaroslav Dashkevych has been a center where the traditions of classical university education are combined with the latest trends in the training of specialists in Oriental languages since its establishment in 1997.
Today the Department trains specialists of the first educational degree (Bachelors of Philology) in five areas of specialization: “Arabic Language and Literature, Ukrainian Language and Literature”, “Persian Language and Literature, Ukrainian Language and Literature”, “Turkish Language and Literature, Ukrainian Language and Literature”, “Chinese Language and Literature, Ukrainian Language and Literature”, “Japanese Language and Literature, Ukrainian Language and Literature”. Also, the Department trains specialists of the second educational degree (Masters of Philology) in five areas of specialization: “Arabic Language and Literature”, “Persian Language and Literature”, “Turkish Language and Literature”, “Chinese Language and Literature”, “Japanese Language and Literature”.
Syllabi are set up in accordance with the standards of international qualification examinations. In addition to Ukrainian, students also have the opportunity to choose another oriental language to study, in particular Korean.
The teaching staff of the Department researches aspects of pragmatics, cognitive linguistics and ethnolinguistics, linguocultural and structural-semantic features of the translation of literary texts, lexico-grammatical and phonetic features of the language systems of the countries of the Middle and Far East.
For twenty years, the Department has been cooperating with scientific institutions, international organizations and universities in Ukraine, Japan, China, Turkey, Iran and a number of Arab countries, which allows its students to participate in projects and governmental programs of these countries, conferences, lectures, master classes, summer schools, internships, as well as in speaking clubs with foreign guests, in particular, with students and teachers of partner universities.

Dispatches From Lviv, A Conversation With Halyna Kruk, Dzvinia Orlowsky, Ali Kinsella, and Chard deNiord

06.02.2024 | 15:59

After reading Dzvinia Orlowsky’s and Ali Kinsella’s translations of Halyna Kruk’s new manuscript of poems titled Lost in Living, I wasn’t sure at first just how to broach the profoundly grievous but also transcendent subject matter of Kruk’s poems. I was curious about how a poet in the midst of devastating war could write about both her country’s and her own personal losses with what William Butler Yeats called “a cold eye.” Kruk’s poetry rises memorably to the occasion of its subject matter...

In the Hour of War: Poems from Ukraine

“This is the silence before the explosion, between volleys of rifle fire, the silence of foreboding, of fear and insomnia, and the silence of complicity. The poems were written in the hour of war, in the lyrics of passing through fire….” So write the editors, two of America’s most significant poets, Carolyn Forché and Ilya Kaminsky, in their introduction.
Ukraine may be the only country on earth that owes its existence, at least in...
