11 architectural monuments are sutiated in the campus. Since its reopening, the Academy keeps these important cultural monuments from destruction practically alone . We keep raising funds for projects of design, repairs and restoration actively and insistently.

It also underlies the unique combination of teaching and research, and must be further developed without abandoning these principles. NaUKMA took an active participation in the process of implementation of university autonomy.
Innovations
NaUKMA was the first university in Ukraine to implement:
— Bachelor programs (1992);
— Liberal Arts Education (1992);
— European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (1992);
— Trimester system of academic year (1992);
— Its own diploma (1995);
— Parallel admission for two specializations ( the choice can be made after exams are passed) (1995);
— Two-year Master programs (1996);
— Doctoral programs arranged by the Western academic criteria (2008);

All these changes NaUKMA implemented were absolutely innovative for the post-Soviet educational system. When the Law “On Higher Education in Ukraine” was introduced in 2014, they were all included into it, so that NaUKMA became an example for the rest of Ukrainian universities.
We were the first Ukrainian university to accept the regulations on plagiarism and academic dishonesty.
