The establishment of the college-institute-academy teaching and learning complexes and their positive dynamics (Lviv National Academy of Arts) have been proven. The formation of specialty “Design” and its specializations (National Academy of Fine Art and Architecture, National Forestry and Wood Technology University, Kyiv State Academy of Decorative Applied Art and Design etc.) are outlined. The basic stages of the development and the present state of the design education in Ukraine have been defined. It is noted that the origins of the Ukrainian design education date back to 1920’s, when the schools of arts and crafts were created. It is found that in the 1940–60 the universities that prepared the designers for the manufacturing, and in the 1990’s - design departments that prepared the graduation of designers with late specializations of 4 education qualification levels were created.
