 The Beginning of Our Journey 🏛️✨

Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University combines historical traditions and modern educational approaches. Founded in 1940, it has developed along with the country, preserving classical pedagogy and introducing the latest teaching methods. It is based on high educational standards and the words of Ivan Franko: “The school stands as a teacher.”

Teachers prepare specialists who are able to think critically, act boldly and help children learn. For university educators, education is more than a profession, it is a calling.

Many people think that being a student of Ukrainian and Foreign Philology Faculty means just reading old books. But let’s look at it through the lens of our future careers! 

In our recent survey about the Ukrainian job market, we discovered that communication and information management are key to success. As philologists, we are not just studying grammar; we are becoming masters of learning to navigate different cultures and contexts; knowing how to find reliable information among hundreds of sources like news, social media, and career portals.

Being a "Philology student" today means being a future leader in education, translation, and digital content creation. We are the ones who will tell Ukraine's story to the world.

Looking at Drohobych State Pedagogical University, qbanner we can come across Franko’s quote : "The spirit that drives the body to battle." 🇺🇦 For us, as students, this "battle" is about building our future, even in challenging times. As fas as, Franko spirit is everywhere in Drohobych, particularly, the university is its main embodiment.
