Dear readers of our channel🧐! Today we are concluding our series of posts on the education system👨🏫👩🏫 in Ukraine and will tell you about the specifics of studying at higher education institutions (hereinafter referred to as ‘universities’)🏛.
Both asylum seekers📙 and those with refugee status📗, as well as those in need of complementary protection📘, may study at universities. However, there is one fundamental difference between them.
Thus, asylum seekers may only study on a fee-paying basis💸, unless otherwise provided for by Ukraine’s international treaties📜, legislation or academic mobility agreements📝 between universities. Refugees and persons in need of complementary protection, on the other hand, enrol at university and study on an equal footing with Ukrainian citizens🇺🇦. Consequently, they are entitled to higher education free of charge👨🎓👩🎓.
Interesting fact❗️Following the start of the full-scale invasion, three individuals – including one asylum seekers and two refugees – successfully passed the entrance examinations (in Ukraine - NMT) and are now pursuing higher education at various universities across Ukraine.
