“Admission centre for occupied territory” means the university hosts a «Крим-Україна» or «Донбас-Україна» centre, where applicants living in occupied territory can apply under a separate, simplified procedure. It is not a sign that the university itself has moved.

Students are counted as recorded in EDEBO at 1 October 2026, which includes the 2026 intake; we read the data on 19 October 2026 and EDEBO can still be corrected after that. Entrants are the 2025 intake and graduates those of 2025 — the latest years published. Figures for a university include its branches (separate structural units), which are listed on its page. “State-funded” is a place paid for by the state or a local budget (бюджет); “fee-paying” is a contract place (контракт), paid by the student or an employer. Part-time adds correspondence (заочна) and evening study.

Licensed programmes (26)

Licensed specialities and programmes as the register gives them: the annual volume the licence allows, whether the programme is accredited, and the accreditation certificate's expiry date. Ukraine has replaced its list of specialities twice — in 2016 and again in 2025 (letter codes such as D8) — and the register still records many licences under the older codes (081, or 6.060101 before 2016), so all three are shown, newest list first. English names are our translations, for the 2025 list only. 26 of these carry a current accreditation certificate.

What it costs

Fees for contract places are set by each institution and are not published as open data, so there are no fee figures here. State-funded places are free to the student; international students normally study on fee-paying terms — ask the institution.
