Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University (BNAU) is an agricultural research and education center located in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine. It consists of 5 higher education institutions of III-IV accreditation levels, research institutions (5 research institutes, 13 research laboratories, the only Institute for Postgraduate Training of Veterinary Medicine Managers and Specialists in Ukraine, the Institute for European Integration, and a training and research center), and agricultural production enterprises. The educational traditions at the university were established in the seventeenth century when the first educational institution was founded, which eventually transformed into Bila Tserkva National University. The university and eight separate structural subdivisions - professional colleges - form the Regional University Center.

Currently, the university has six faculties, a university-wide Department of Health and Physical Recreation, a pre-university training center, and the Institute of Postgraduate Education.

BNAU is a multidisciplinary educational institution with more than 5.5 thousand Ukrainian and foreign students studying in 19 specialties.

The university's 45 departments are staffed by 49 D.Sc., 12 academicians and corresponding members of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, as well as 214 candidates of sciences and PhDs.

History

edit

The peculiarity of BNAU's history is that it claims to date back to 1630[1], although since then, the institution has repeatedly changed its location, teaching staff, and field of study. This is probably done to ensure that the university has more prestige.
