Swansea twins with Ukrainian university paving way for collaboration and support
Swansea University has signed a twinning agreement with a Ukrainian university that paves the way for research partnerships, sharing online teaching and learning materials, and opportunities for students and staff from Ukraine to visit Swansea.
The agreement is with Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University (PMBSNU), which is in the region of Mykolaiv, a major port city of around 470,000 people in southern Ukraine.
The agreement was signed by the heads of the two universities in a coordinated ceremony held simultaneously in Swansea and Mykolaiv on Thursday 3rd November 2022.
It is the latest in a series of partnerships between UK and Ukrainian universities, set up by umbrella body Universities UK International and the Cormack Consultancy Group to support the country in the wake of the invasion by Russian forces in February 2022.
These partnerships are intended to encourage the sharing of resources and support in a collective gesture of solidarity and reciprocity to help Ukrainian institutions, staff and students.
In Wales, Global Wales opened funding of up to £15,000 per university to facilitate academic support initiatives with Ukraine. It is hoped that these will develop into long-term collaborative partnerships between the universities involved.
PMBSNU is a state higher educational institution governed by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. With around 5,000 students, it traces its origins back to 1996 and became a national level university in 2016.
It has faculties in law, political sciences, computer science, journalism, physical education and sport, economic sciences and philology, along with medical, education and public administration institutes. It makes wide use of Western educational technologies and its working languages are Ukrainian and English.
Like Swansea University, PMBSNU places strong emphasis on international links. It already has partnerships with universities in Canada, China and the USA, and in all corners of Europe, from Cadiz in southern Spain to Bodo in northern Norway. PMBSNU also takes part in a wide range of international exchange programs including Erasmus and the Fulbright scholarships, and more than 200 overseas staff have given lectures at the university.
