Admission to all forms of education is carried out by submitting an application for an electronic offer of a place via the Unified Interdepartmental Information System of Ukraine for Admission to Institutions of Vocational, Pre-Higher and Higher Education (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Unified System’), regardless of:

• entry requirements (visa/visa-free);
• whether the person holds a temporary residence permit;
• the person’s stay in Ukraine.

Applying for a study invitation via the Unified System is the only way to obtain a study invitation in Ukraine.

1. Firstly, applicants must create an online account via the website https://apply.studyinukraine.gov.ua/home, where they can submit an online application to generate an electronic invitation, and upload the following documents:

• passport or identity document (with a translation into Ukrainian and notarised);
• educational qualification and its supplement (legalised – with an apostille or consular certification);
• photograph (a colour digital image of the face).

All documents must be uploaded in .pdf or .jpg format.
