Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University

What Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University does

Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University is a Ukrainian state higher education institution headquartered in Mykolaiv, established in 1996 as a branch of the National University "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy" and elevated to national university status by the President of Ukraine in June 2016. The institution delivers undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across more than eight faculties and institutes, including the Faculty of Computer Sciences (ranked 2nd in Ukraine for IT education per the DOU-2016 rating and licensed across all four IT specializations 121-124), the Educational-Scientific Medical Institute (licensed for 150 students/year in specialty 222 Medicine per Ministry of Education Order No. 996l of May 17, 2016), and faculties of economics, political sciences, law, philology, and physical education and sports, plus a Professional College and an Institute of Post-Diploma Education.

The operating model blends state-funded education quotas with contract-based paid tuition, supplemented by ancillary revenue streams: the Mykolaiv Center for Sociological Research provides quantitative and qualitative research services to local government and businesses; the Media Center operates two professional TV studios producing content broadcast via NIS-TV, MART channel, and the Petro Mohyla TV YouTube channel; preparatory courses, youth programs (School of Young Entrepreneurs at 2500 UAH, School of Creative Leadership at 1300 UAH), and the Ukraine-Norway veteran retraining program extend the service surface. Technology infrastructure centers on Moodle 3.9 for learning delivery, DSpace for the institutional repository, and a dedicated student qualification works management system.

Distribution combines direct on-campus instruction with the Admissions Commission office, three annual open days, distance learning, professional orientation outreach to high schools, and a multi-channel media presence across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and regional TV partnerships. International footprint is built through Erasmus+ mobility programs and partnerships with Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland), Norwegian NORD University, the University of Western England, Munich Center for Applied Political Studies, Shumen University (Bulgaria), and the Israeli Cultural Center. Rector Leonid Klymenko leads the institution, which employs approximately 107 staff as reported (note: figure may reflect partial headcount and warrants verification for institutional scale).
