At the preparatory faculty the foreigners learn Russian or Ukrainian, history of Ukraine, country-specific studies, mathematics, geography of Ukraine and other subjects, depending on the profession they want to acquire. At the end of the academic year all the foreign students have to pass exams. The students who have successfully passed the exams will receive an appropriate certificate and will be admitted for further training at their chosen institution.

We guarantee the provision of dormitories or rented apartments to our students during the first year of studies – this is the practice of all Universities in Europe.
