Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University was officially established as a national university in 2016. However, its history can be traced back to the establishment of the Mykolaiv branch of the National university of Kyiv Mohyla Academy.

There are five faculties within the university: faculty of physical education and sport, faculty of computer science, faculty of economics, faculty of political science, and the faculty of law. There are also four institutes: medical institute, institute of philology, institute of public administration, and the postgraduate institute.
The postgraduate institute opened in 2002 and offers advanced training, retraining and part-time education.
Outside the classroom students can join one of the university¡¯s 13 specialised sports clubs. Among them are martial arts, underwater sports, volleyball and badminton. The university is fully equipped with three sports halls and a fitness centre available for students to use to practice their sports or for regular exercise.
The International Relations Office is responsible for overseeing the university¡¯s international activity and developing partnerships with other higher education institutions across the globe. The university currently has partnerships with countries such as France, Germany, the US, Switzerland and Poland.
