 Today, September 14, the educational process for first-year students of West Ukrainian National University began. The academic year started unusually, as due to quarantine restrictions it kicks off remotely. The day began with a video address from the rector of WUNU Andriy Krysovatyy, who wished the first years to be brave and steadfast, set ambitious goals, dream, win and take care of their health!

 Are you a first-year student? Do you think that you were unlucky because of the quarantine? We will change your mind! West Ukrainian National University invites all first years to participate in Digital Support Week!

 The Second International Week (WUNU IW 2020) will start on September 22, 2020 at the West Ukrainian National University!

WUNU IW 2020 is an international forum where participants will present the latest research concepts, exchange ideas, developments and programnes in all thematic areas of WUNU IW. International Week provides an opportunity to expand and strengthen cooperation between partner institutions in international project activities. This is a great opportunity to communicate with colleagues from around the world!

For the fifth time since August 2016, WUNU as the successor to TNEU received this certificate, signed by the Director of the Global Network at Cambridge Assessment English Francesca Woodworth. This entitles our university, including the Foreign Language Training and Research Center, to prepare exam candidates for the Cambridge English Certificate in English.
