Who can apply for a Bachelor's degree?
A Bachelor's degree is the first level of higher education in Ukraine. Usually, this educational stage lasts four years. Upon completion, the graduate receives a Bachelor's degree.
Applicants with a complete general secondary education can apply for a Bachelor's degree. In other words, those who have completed 11 school grades. This applies to both current year graduates and those from previous years. In particular, those who already have a higher education – a Bachelor's or Master's degree – can become repeat applicants. Holders of professional pre-higher education, i.e., college graduates, can also enroll in universities.
Individuals pursuing higher education have the opportunity to study simultaneously in several educational programs. In addition, there is an opportunity to study simultaneously at several universities.
