With its affordable education, long-established universities and programs especially in medicine, engineering and IT, Ukraine was once among the countries chosen by international students. However, due to the current security situation in the country, in-person certificate programs for international participants in Ukraine are not currently offered on a regular basis.
The latest travel advisories of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye also indicate that caution is needed regarding travel to Ukraine. For this reason, at NGGlobal we are not currently referring participants to in-person programs in Ukraine. On this page, participants interested in Ukraine can find online options and alternative countries for certificate study.
Certificate study abroad requires a safe living environment, a predictable education process and reliable transport. At present, these conditions cannot be met in Ukraine.
Ukraine is located in Eastern Europe and is one of the largest countries in Europe by area. Its capital is Kyiv. The official language is Ukrainian. The currency is the Ukrainian hryvnia.
Ukraine is known for long-established university cities such as Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv and Odesa, and for its strong IT sector. The country has stood out as one of Europe's key technology hubs, especially in software development.
There are online options for participants interested in Ukraine and the fields in which Ukraine is strong:
Although online programs cannot fully replace an in-person experience abroad, they are a safe option for gaining knowledge and skills in a specific field. Before joining an online program, it is important to check the institution's recognition and the validity of the certificate.
For participants who want an affordable certificate program in Eastern and Central Europe, there are safe alternative countries:
In the past, Ukraine was a popular choice for international students' preparatory programs, especially those who wanted to study medicine and engineering. Students with this goal can find similar programs in safe and well-recognized countries.
Medical schools in Hungary offer one-year preparatory programs for English-taught medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. Universities in Poland and the Czech Republic also offer preparatory programs and language training options. At NGGlobal, we work with you to choose the preparatory program that best fits your goals.
Developments in Ukraine have increased interest in humanitarian action, peacebuilding, post-conflict reconstruction and international development. Participants who want to specialize in these fields can consider certificate programs in different countries.
Humanitarian action and diplomacy programs in Geneva, peace and conflict resolution programs in Northern Ireland, and European Union and development programs in Brussels offer strong options for those aiming for a career in these fields.
Certificate programs in Europe usually start in September–October and February; language courses and short programs are held on different dates throughout the year. Since visa and residence permit procedures for longer programs can take time, it is advisable to apply at least four to six months before the program.
Since Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia and Malta are in the Schengen Area, short programs require a Schengen visa, and longer programs require the national visa or residence permit of the country concerned.
If conditions in Ukraine return to normal and safe travel becomes possible again, universities and education providers in the country are expected to resume in-person programs for international participants. At NGGlobal, we are closely following developments and will update this page to keep you informed when conditions allow.
