Why Study a Language in Kharkiv?
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, was one of the most popular student cities for international students before the war, with many universities and medical schools. Known for Freedom Square and its constructivist architecture, the city is one of the places most affected by the war.
Once security conditions allow, ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language study options in Kharkiv. Programs at Kharkiv's universities can be considered again once conditions return to normal.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Language levels go from A1 to C2, and on an intensive course you should allow about two months per level.
Language school fees in Kharkiv depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and off-season dates. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a booking confirmation and, if needed, a letter of acceptance for your visa. Junior programs require parental consent.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and prices are usually lower.
Under normal conditions, Turkish citizens can enter Ukraine visa-free for short visits, and long-term study requires a student visa with the university's invitation. Because of the war, entry conditions, border crossings and visa procedures vary, so always check the current situation in official sources.
We recommend planning your budget without relying on income from work. Before the war, Ukraine stood out as a study destination with low living costs.
Before the war, international students in Kharkiv usually stayed in university dormitories or rented flats; accommodation information will be updated for post-war conditions.

Kharkiv is normally served by metro (where available), trams, trolleybuses and buses; services and routes may change in wartime conditions.
Kharkiv has a continental climate, with cold, snowy winters and warm, sunny summers.
Because of the war, Ukrainian airspace is closed to civilian flights, and the country is normally reached by land via Poland, Moldova or Romania. Travel information will be updated for post-war conditions.
Kharkiv is 1 hour behind Turkey in winter and on the same time as Turkey during Ukrainian daylight saving time (late March to late October).
NGGlobal advisers give students planning a language course in Kharkiv free support with comparing schools, getting price quotes, arranging accommodation and preparing visa documents.
