Our history

Alfred Nobel University (Dnipro)
Alfred Nobel University (Dnipro) is one of the leading private higher education institutions in Ukraine. It was founded in 1993 as the Dnipro Academy of Management, Business and Law, but within a few years, it grew to the status of a university. In 2010, the university was named after Alfred Nobel for its significant contribution to the spread of the Nobel movement and active involvement in educational development.
The founder of the education institution
The founder of the education institution is the Ukrainian public figure, Doctor of Economics, Professor Borys Kholod (03.01.1941 – 02.11.2021).

The Nobel Movement: From Idea to Space Horizons

01

In 2008, the Nobel Committee and the Nobel Family Society supported the idea of creating a monument to all Nobel Prize winners since 1901. Our institution was selected as the site. Since then, the University has been named after Alfred Nobel, and the world’s unique sculpture Alfred Nobel Planet is annually replenished with medals of new laureates. 

Moreover, this unique monument was made by the State Enterprise Yuzhmash from the materials of decommissioned strategic missiles as a symbol of Ukraine’s contribution to the cause of nuclear disarmament on our planet and, at the same time, as a symbol of Ukraine’s power as a global leader in the space industry.
