According to this charter, the institution was subordinate not only to the minister public education, but also to the trustee of the Kyiv educational district. The university council annually elected deans of faculties, and they were approved by the minister.

It was the third university on the territory modern Ukraine after Lviv and Kharkov University, and the sixth university of the Russian Empire.

Initially, one of the main tasks set for the university was the fight against the Polonized Kyiv intelligentsia, which was persecuted after the defeat of the Polish uprising of 1830-1831. The appeal to Prince Vladimir I, who baptized Rus' according to the Eastern rite, was supposed to symbolize precisely this direction of the university’s activities.

The first classes at the university and its grand opening took place on July 15, St. Vladimir’s Day. Served at the Kiev Pechersk Lavra divine liturgy, after which those present returned to the house rented for study in Pechersk.

According to the charter, a four-year period of study was established. Students took exams at the end of each course, and before graduating from university, those who were especially talented were awarded gold and silver medals.

The most populous faculties at Kiev University in the 19th century were the faculties of law and medicine. In 1859 there were 540 physicians, three times as many as lawyers; since the 60s of the 19th century, the number of lawyers has been growing rapidly, and the number of doctors has been falling; there are twice as many lawyers in the city as doctors; in the city there are almost equal numbers of them, then the number of doctors exceeds lawyers in the city by almost 5 times (785 and 175). The influx of doctors at this time was so great that it was necessary to install a kit for the 1st course. Despite this, by the city there were 1014 doctors.

Has grown rapidly in late XIX century and the number of lawyers (in 1894 - 932). The number of philologists before the introduction of the statute of 1884 was about 1 ⁄ 9 of all students (in 1883 - 162), then quickly began to fall, and in 1894 there were only 69.

At the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics until 1868 there was 1 ⁄ 4 total number students, in the city this number decreased to 1 ⁄ 8 , and in 1894 there were 312 people, that is, about 1 ⁄ 7 , and there are 1½ times more natural scientists than mathematicians, whereas before mathematicians predominated.

At first most of the students were children of nobles (88%), but in 1883 nobles already made up only 50%. In the 60-70s of the XIX century. democratization of students took place. The commoners gradually replaced the nobles. The progressive democratic students of Kyiv University actively participated in the revolutionary movement. According to official data, of the persons brought to trial for participation in the revolutionary struggle against tsarism in -1877, students and secondary school students educational institutions were 50 percent.

Simultaneously with their studies, the struggle continued: Kyiv students took part in the All-Russian student strike of 1899 in protest against police repression at St. Petersburg University.

The First World War put Kiev University in a very difficult position. The military command, not wanting to have rebel students in the rear of the army [ ], gave the order for the evacuation of Kyiv University to the “left bank of the Dnieper”, ultimately to Saratov. The evacuation significantly worsened the students' situation. Due to the relocations, laboratories, offices, and museum collections suffered heavy losses.
