Frequently Asked Questions For Studying in Ukraine

How do I know that the Invitation Letter is Authentic?
The Invitation letter sent by the school contains your International Passport details and the Name of the Institution that Admitted you. It is also stamped with a silver shinning SEAL of Ukraine at the top or below of the invitation.
How long will the Invitation Letter last (Validity)?
Validity of the Invitation Letter is three (3) months. Student must apply for Visa before the Validity of the Invitation Letter expires.
Can I use the SAME Invitation Letter to apply next year?
NO.  Like all things, Invitation Letter has a validity period. If by some reasons, you could not make it this year, you'll have to apply to the school again next year. YOU CANNOT DEFER YOUR ADMISSION TILL NEXT YEAR.
What is the Preparatory Faculty?
Preparatory faculty is an educational programme where the student studies Russian/ Ukraine Language within the period of 6-10 months and other courses related to the future field of application. The Medium of tutoring is Russia/Ukraine. Students enrolling in this programme are considered by the Nigerian Ambassador to Ukraine, Frank Ngozi Isoh, as Wise "I do not think that Nigerians get the best when it comes to studying in this place in the English Language".
It is instructive to note that some Universities in the Ukraine study well in English Language but they are majorly Private Institutions whose tuition fees are more than $4000. It is thereby advisable to take the preparatory course for 6-10 months before entering the mainstream programme.
The benefits include better settlement and blending into the environment, you can easily purchase things without feeling like you are being sold. Lower Tuition fees which ranges below $2500 yearly as opposed to the $3500 and above.
The Choice is yours, you can choose to enter straight into the mainstream programme if you think that age and time isn't with you. This is also a viable option, after all, Thousands of Nigerians are there Studying and Surviving without learning the language. MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE.
After receiving my Invitation letter, What's next?
