University at a Glance
NUBiP of Ukraine is a leading national research university specializing in life and environmental sciences. Founded in Kyiv in 1898, the University has grown into one of Ukraine's most comprehensive higher education institutions, bringing together over 30,000 students and more than 1,300 academic staff.
NUBiP's principal campus is one of the most distinctive and expansive university environments in Ukraine. Spanning 138 hectares in the heart of Kyiv, it is far more than a conventional academic setting, it is a living landscape that seamlessly integrates lecture halls, laboratories and administrative buildings with forests, experimental fields, botanical gardens and open green spaces. This unique blend of urban location and natural surroundings reflects the University's core identity: an institution where the study of life and environmental sciences is not merely theoretical, but deeply embedded in the environment itself. Students and researchers alike benefit from immediate access to working agricultural plots, ecological study areas and specialised research facilities - all within the boundaries of a single, cohesive campus. Beyond Kyiv, NUBiP extends its presence across 13 regional campuses throughout Ukraine, ensuring that the same quality of hands-on, environment-centred education is available to students from every corner of the country.
The University's mission is to generate, systematise, preserve and disseminate advanced scientific knowledge in order to enhance the quality of human life, and to cultivate highly qualified specialists in accordance with European and global standards of intellectual and personal excellence.

NUBiP of Ukraine has been actively building a multi-layered digital educational ecosystem designed to serve students, postgraduate researchers, and academic staff. At its core is the e-learning portal (elearn.nubip.edu.ua), a centralized Moodle-based platform where electronic courses are hosted and accessed using institutional corporate accounts (@nubip.edu.ua). Student accounts are created centrally and remain active throughout each study cycle, ensuring structured and secure access to hundreds of digital course materials across all faculties.
NUBiP Digital Platform
A significant milestone in the university's digital transformation was launching a new initiative called NUBIP Digital, a practical workshop-training dedicated to implementing a new platform for automating the educational environment. This platform represents a new level of process automation across academic administration and course delivery, signaling the university's commitment to moving beyond basic e-learning toward an integrated institutional digital infrastructure.
International Digital Partnerships
NUBiP has strategically expanded its digital learning resources through international cooperation. In late 2025, the university joined the University Twinning initiative and gained free access to FutureLearn, one of the world's largest distance learning platforms, enabling students and staff to enroll in certified courses in areas such as Digital Skills and Data Analysis, Sustainable Development, and Agricultural Technologies. Access is granted via institutional email, supporting a continuous, self-paced learning model that complements the formal curriculum
