Ukraine Launches New Admission Campaign: Ministry of Education Offers Essential Advice to Future Students
The long-awaited higher education admission campaign has officially commenced across Ukraine, offering thousands of prospective students the opportunity to take their first significant step toward university education and future career development. Deputy Minister of Education and Science Mykhailo Vynnytskyi emphasized in his public address that the campaign began on June 30 and marks a crucial stage in the lives of young Ukrainians aspiring to obtain university diplomas. He urged applicants to approach their choice of university with utmost responsibility, as this decision will influence their future not only over the next four years of study but also throughout their professional paths. He highlighted that a university is a place where worldview is shaped, personal qualities are developed, and foundational friendships and professional connections are formed. Students meet like-minded peers and gain access to numerous new opportunities for personal and career growth. The Ministry of Education reiterated that this year’s rules allow applicants to submit up to five applications for budget-funded education at any university without restrictions on the number of specialties, and up to ten applications for contract-based studies. The application period begins on July 19 and concludes at 6:00 PM on August 1, except for military academies and specialized institutions with unique conditions. Additionally, the ministry encourages future students to remain open to new opportunities, explore academic programs, and not fear making changes during their studies, as modern higher education provides the flexibility to adjust their educational trajectory as needed.
