Students of the Department of Germanic Philology started their long-term studies at University of Liverpool (Great Britain).

Philology students got this opportunity thanks to the cooperation between Sumy and Liverpool. In such a way, we have two twin universities within the international project "Unity Initiative".

During January and February 2023, the department lecturer was a jury member for the Third (Regional) Stage of the All-Ukrainian School Academic Competitions. It was held by Sumy Regional Institute of Postgraduate Education and educational institutions of the Sumy region.

Halyna Chulanova (associate professor, PhD in Philology) was a jury chairman in the 2022/2023 academic year for the English Language discipline.

The textbook "Simultaneous Translation Problems" is published in 2023. The authors are Svitlana Shvachko (academician of the Higher School of the Ukrainian Science Academy, DSc in Philology, professor), Iryna Kobiakova (professor, department head) and Tetiana Anokhina (Translation graduate, expert of the Employers' Council, professor at Kyiv National Linguistic University).

Yuliia Ishchenko (a 3rd year student) participated in the All-Ukrainian Olena Teliha and Oleh Olzhych Literary Contest "Only Those Who Can Laugh in Pain Are Victorious!". It was held by the Ukrainian State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting as well as the Olha Basarab and Olena Teliha Women Society.
