National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, NaUKMA (Ukrainian: Національний університет «Києво-Могилянська академія» Natsional'nyi universytet "Kyyevo-Mohylians'ka akademiya", НаУКМА), located in Kiev (Kyiv), Ukraine is one of the country's leading national schools of higher education.
NaUKMA in its current form was established in 1992 shortly after Ukraine gained its independence upon the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union.
However, the historic predecessor of the NaUKMA, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kiev-Mogila Academy), was one of the oldest and the most distinguished academic and theological schools in Eastern Europe. It was established in 1632 by Peter Mogila (Petro Mohyla), a Metropolitan of Kiev and Galicia.
