How to get an invitation

Foreigners are enrolled for study using the Unified Interagency Information System of Ukraine for Foreigners and Stateless Persons Who Are Willing to Study in Professional (Vocational), Professional Pre-Higher and Higher Education Institutions of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the Unified System).

An electronic invitation to study issued by means of the Unified System is valid for no more than six months from the date of affixing a qualified electronic seal of a vocational (vocational-technical), professional pre-higher, higher education institution or a qualified electronic signature of a vocational (vocational-technical), professional pre-higher, higher education institution authorised person.

An invitation to study issued by means of the Automated System “Electronic Journal” of a state-owned enterprise authorized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine remains valid until April 1, 2025 inclusive.

Foreigners who have received an electronic invitation to study, have received a range of information and consulting support services (in case of receiving an invitation to study through the Automated System “Electronic Journal” of a state-owned enterprise authorized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine), and have completed the procedure for legalizing educational documents in the country of issue: legalized in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country that issued the educational document; legalized in the consulate.

In order to arrange remote enrollment of foreigners for higher education and for the purpose of studying under the programs of the preparatory department (subdivision), the university conducts identification of the person and entrance examinations in a remote format with their video recording (including from the screen of the applicant's device). The video recording of the entrance examination is stored after the entrance examination for foreigners for five years at the educational institution, and a link to this recording is entered into the Unified Database.

In the case of remote admission, the foreigner sends legalized and notarized copies of documents on previous education to the educational institution by e-mail. When crossing the state border of Ukraine for the first time and upon arrival at the educational institution, the foreigner shall hand over the original documents in person.

An invitation to study at the University is issued electronically through the Unified System with the submission of the following documents:
