The University of Luhansk, officially the Taras Shevchenko National University of Luhansk (, ; often referred to as LNU), is the oldest university in Donbas region and has a reputation as one of Ukraine's most prestigious universities. Following the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine and the establishment of the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), this university was partitioned into two universities. One continues to operate in the same campus as before in Luhansk, and was later renamed to the Luhansk State Pedagogical University (, LGPU) in 2020. The other one was forcibly relocated to Ukraine-controlled Starobilsk and, beginning in 2022, was later relocated to Poltava, Myrhorod, and Lubny, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The University of Luhansk grew out of an association of professors in the city of Luhansk that was formed by the Soviet authorities as Teachers' Training Institute in 1921. In addition to cultural and practical participation in the work of the Ukrainian society, the university participates in international projects, such as an MBA joint program with Franklin Pierce University.
