Faculty of Foreign Languages

The Faculty of Foreign Languages (FFL) of Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University has been renowned as the major educational, scientific and methodical center of the region in the field of philology.

History of our Faculty

The FFL’s history began in 1965 when the evening part-time department of Romano-Germanic philology was opened at the philological faculty of Donetsk State University. In the spring of 1973, the need to create a full-fledged faculty of foreign languages based on the Department of Romano-Germanic Philology emerged. Nadiya Mykhailivna Pisarevska became the first dean of the Faculty heading the newly created unit from 1973 to 1976.
