Academic mobility

Academic mobility is a priority direction for the development of our faculty, which opens up opportunities for students and lecturers to study, intern, or conduct research in another higher education institution (HEI) in Ukraine or abroad. It is important that during participation in the program, the participant retains their main place of study or work without expulsion or dismissal.

Our key partnerships

In addition to university-wide opportunities, students of our faculty have unique chances for professional development thanks to direct links with leading scientific centers:

For students of the faculty, two main trajectories are available:

  • Credit mobility (horizontal): studying at another HEI for a semester or an academic year to obtain ECTS credits, which will be recognized by our faculty upon return.

  • Degree mobility (vertical): studying at another HEI to obtain a higher education degree (often implemented through double degree programs).

Forms of participation: study, participation in summer schools and seminars, language internship, educational and scientific internship, scientific internship, etc.

The right to mobility can be realized both through official partnership agreements and at the student's own initiative based on an individual invitation.
