A brief description of the organization:
Lviv Polytechnic National University (LPNU) (https://lpnu.ua) is the largest university in Lviv and the oldest technical educational institution in Ukraine. From its foundation in 1816, it has become one of Central Europe's most important centers of technical sciences and technological developments. The University is also a powerful research center.
The main University activities are the following:
- Training of high-level scientific and educational research staff;
- Scientific research and developments, and the creation of scientific and research products.
The university's structure includes 16 academic and research institutes, an International Institute of Education, Culture, and Diaspora Relations, 10 colleges, 100 departments, a research section, a scientific-technical library, the Tech StartUp School innovation center, and research, testing, and industry-specific laboratories.
Currently, the university hosts approximately 34,000 students. There are 67 bachelor's programs (undergraduate/first degree), and 54 master's specialties (158 master's programs) (graduate/second degree).
Over 2,100 academic staff facilitate the educational process, including nearly 500 doctoral degree holders, professors, and over 1,400 candidates of sciences, as well as associate professors. Additionally, the university offers doctoral programs in philosophy with 54 educational and scientific programs and doctoral degrees in 38 specialties.
The university actively implements inclusive educational policies to uphold universal, national, and socio-cultural values. Moreover, a Center for Education Quality Assurance operates within the university.
As of 2022, the university has more than 215 active international cooperation agreements with higher education institutions and organizations from 34 countries worldwide. LPNU has a long-standing tradition of international education and scientific collaboration. Over 50 years, approximately 3,000 and 130 doctoral degrees have been awarded to foreign students from more than 70 countries. Additionally, the university hosts over 20 annual international conferences in various engineering fields. As of 2022, the university has implemented 71 academic mobility projects under the Erasmus+ KA1 program. In 2023, over 15 projects will be implemented under the Erasmus+ KA2 program, and 18 projects will be implemented under the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet direction.
In 2007/2008, according to the Bologna process, LPNU adopted and implemented a unified ECTS 3-level education system, which enabled the University to join the European educational network.
The educational process is organized into two forms: full-time and part-time. Graduates can be employed at research, development, manufacturing, design, and advisory institutions. Graduated specialists are employed at domestic and offshore international IT companies and their branch offices and at all institutions where computer systems and information technologies are used.
The University's research activities are oriented mainly toward Microsystems engineering/design and custom software development for design & engineering tools. Today LPNU actively implements new specializations and develops teaching laboratories related to Microsystems Engineering, particularly in Intelligent Microsystems.
