History of the department

The Department of Ukrainian Applied Linguistics was established by the decision of the Academic Council of Lviv National University on June 22, 1996. Respected scholars, known both in Ukraine and far beyond its borders, work at the Department. These are the authors of monographs, textbooks, tutorials, dictionaries, which are used not only by university students, but also by Ukrainian scholars and Ukrainian departments located in Europe. The Department maintains close ties with various international scientific institutions and academic communities from the Ukrainian studies centers around the world.

The main spheres of engagement of the Department of Ukrainian Applied Linguistics are the teaching of the Ukrainian language to foreign students and the academic discipline “Ukrainian Language for Professional Purposes” at various faculties of the university. The Department has a PhD program for training qualified scholars in “Ukrainian Language” and “Ukrainian as a Foreign Language”.
