Year by year the University strengthens its leading role in  the educational, scientific and cultural spheres, with Ukraine building up an innovative economy and reforming its education and science.
 
The University is gaining in popularity; studying and working in it carries steadily rising prestige. A diploma awarded by  Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is highly regarded in Ukraine and abroad. 
  
The names of the University professors and scientists are associated with laying the foundation of science, creative ideas and schools recognized by the international scholarly and academic community. Today the University provides for the development of new modern styles of scientific thinking and involves talented creative youth in pioneering research programs.
   
The University enlists close cooperation of NAS (National Academy of Sciences) of Ukraine, business corporations and other organizations in Ukraine, as well as leading universities in the world, promoting academic mobility of students, lecturers and researchers and holding an important place in the  world community.
   
A successful longterm alliance with the National Acade-my of Ukraine resulted in a new development in 2011 – together with nine leading institutes and the National University of  Food Technologies, the University created the Taras Shevchenko Kyiv University Science Park Corporation – a new integrated  form of science, education and business development.
   
Science Park has a well-developed infrastructure which enables high technologies to be innovatively introduced and  brought to the market (technology transfer).

Science is an integral part of the University’s educational  process that provides an opportunity to enhance the quality of professional training, students’ ability to develop their creative
skills, and inspires our talents to new discoveries and accomplishments.
