Re-entry into the state-funded places: Reimbursement.
Many questions arise from applicants who have already studied on a state-funded basis, have been expelled and are planning to re-enter on a state-funded basis. According to the current legislation (Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 26.08.2015 No. 658 (as amended)), this is possible subject to reimbursement of funds spent by the state on their training.
Many people think that this is the cost of the contract, but the reimbursement amounts are much higher than the cost of the contract and do not depend on it at all.
🤔 Where to start?
Contact the educational institution where you studied before and order an academic certificate. As a rule, such certificates are issued by the dean’s office. It is worth addressing this issue now, because it takes up to 2 weeks to issue a certificate.
🧐 How do I apply for admission? Is it the same as everyone else or are there any peculiarities?
The issue of reimbursement will arise only when the applicant is recommended for the budget, so if you are recommended, it’s time to think about it.
📅 When and how will I find out about the need for a refund?
At the stage of confirmation of the conditions for admission by the applicant, the admission committee informs about the need to refund the funds and, as a rule, instructs on further actions.
🤓 Can I find out the amount of refund in advance?
No, this can only be done after enrollment. Within ten days after the publication of the order of enrollment, you must contact the dean’s office of the faculty/institute of the educational institution where you are enrolled to complete all the necessary documents for reimbursement. You must have an academic transcript with you.
❗️ Be careful! Good luck in the admission campaign!

Recommendation for bachelors
Congratulations to all applicants for bachelor’s degree – the recommendation for the state funded programs, i.e. the results of the targeted placement algorithm based on a wide competition, has appeared in your electronic accounts!
Where can I find the recommendation?
Check the status of your application in your electronic application centre! If you have the status «Recommended (budget)», you have passed the competition, if the status remains «Admitted», then, unfortunately, you have not received a recommendation.
Lists of recommended applicants are also available on the websites of all universities.
What to do next?
If you have been recommended, you need to confirm your desire to study by 8 August – in your electronic cabinet, you must do this using a qualified electronic signature or Diia.Signature. Then you will need to send a package of required documents to the institution where you will study.
If you are not recommended, wait until you are recommended for a contract starting from 9 August.
Still confused? Contact us, we will help you at every step!

All about state grants
Have you already applied for admission, but think you won’t be able to get in on a state-funded program? The state has introduced study grants specifically for applicants with high scores in two NMT subjects (over 150 or over 170) who do not qualify for state-funded places and plan to enrol on a contract basis. This is financial assistance that can be received throughout your bachelor’s degree and does not need to be repaid. We have collected everything you need to know about government grants in one article!
📌 Who is eligible for a grant?
- Applicants with NMT (external independent testing) results in two subjects:
💰 150+ points = first-level grant (from UAH 15,000)

- Entrants to full-time or dual forms of education

💡 What if the cost of the contract is higher than the grant?
The grant covers a part of it (as far as the amount is sufficient), and the other part is covered by the applicant or his or her parents or guardians.

You will be allocated exactly the amount that covers the cost of the contract. The grant is provided for the entire period of study and is allocated twice a year – until 1 December and until 1 April.

Submission of applications to the master's program
Attention, future master’s students – the application process for master’s programs has begun through the electronic accounts of applicants! Over the next three weeks (until August 21), applicants will be able to submit electronic applications to their desired universities. Everything looks very simple, but every year future students make many mistakes. Pay attention to our tips to do everything right!
- Don’t be in a hurry: you don’t need to submit all your applications on the first day, it’s better to wait a bit and see what scores and priorities other applicants have.
- Be careful about priorities – the priority of the application cannot be changed! It hasn’t been working for all applicants to the master’s program for a long time. It is better to ask us for advice!
- Check if everything is okay in your account with your photo and phone number – after submitting the first electronic application, nothing in your account changes.
- Do not forget about the motivation letter! It must be submitted with the application.
- Choose the form of education carefully – separate applications are required for full-time and part-time programs.
- Keep track of your application statuses – universities will notify you if everything is going well.
- Check if your documents are correct – diploma or diplomas (if you already have a master’s or specialist’s degree and will be applying on its basis), UEE / UPEE results. We remind you that the additional session of the UEE / UPEE has just begun, so these applicants will have to wait!
Good luck to everyone!

What is application prioritization?
Prospective applicants for bachelor’s and master’s programs often do not understand what prioritization is, what everyone is talking about, how to prioritize correctly, and why they are needed at all when applying. Let us try to answer all your questions!
What is a priority?
Prioritization of applications is your distribution of applications from the most desirable, most dreamy to the backup options. Priorities can only be set for state-funded applications, so there are only five of them for state-funded applications. In the fifth place, we put the application to the university and specialty that we consider as a backup, but in the first place – your dream, the university and specialty you want to go to the most.
How do I prioritize my goals?
Your dream should always come first. Even if your chances are minimal, you should still try the competitive situation changes every year, and applicants have different ways of passing entrance exams and submitting applications. The second and third places should be given to those institutions and specialties where you have a real chance of getting in, and the fourth and fifth places should be reserved for backup options, where you will also have the opportunity to enter by state order. How to make the right choice? Don’t hesitate to contact us! We will be happy to help you prioritize and apply correctly.
What does the priority of applications affect?
First of all, it affects your place in the ranking list if you have the same score as other applicants. Whom should I choose if I have the same score? Of course, the person who has a higher priority and a greater desire to study at this particular institution. Therefore, you should never neglect priority and prioritize at random. Sometimes it happens that an applicant sets priorities without thinking, receives a recommendation for one of the highest priorities, but in fact wanted to apply to an institution to which he or she had set a lower priority.
Do they consider all priorities?
Of course, but remember – if the top priority has been fulfilled, i.e. you have received a recommendation for a state order, all your applications are rejected and no longer participate in the competition for the budget. You can receive a recommendation only once during the admission campaign.
Can I change the priority of my applications?
Yes, but very quickly – as soon as the university processes your application, i.e. changes the status to “Registered in a higher education institution”, you lose the opportunity to change the priority. Then you can only cancel your application, but with the loss of priority, that is, only four of your applications will participate in the competition for the budget, not 5.
What to do?
First, take your time! Secondly, contact us! We will help you to prioritize and get into your dream university on a budget!

Calculator of the competitive score for masters
Have you already calculated your competitive score for a Master’s degree? If you don’t know how to do it quickly and easily, we have developed a calculator for the Master’s degree programme. Follow the link, choose a speciality, enter your UEE scores (foreign language and GNK separately), the results of the UPEE or professional exam and click calculate! The dream score is in front of you! Don’t forget that you need at least 130 points to be admitted on a state-funded programme. Neither sectoral nor regional coefficients are applied to Master’s programmes. Future masters will start applying on 1 August, but you should think carefully now!
The following formula will be used for the competitive selection for Master’s degree programmes:
Competitive score (CS) = 0.2 × P1 + 0.2 × P2 + 0.6 × P3,
where:
- P1 is the score of the UEE general academic competence test;
- P2 – score of the UEE foreign language test;
- P3 – score of the UPEE or the score of a professional exam in the cases provided for in the Admission Procedure 2024.
The list of majors and relevant UPEE tests is in [Appendix 8 of the Admission Procedure 2024].
At the same time, the score of the USQE on a scale of 200 – 400 is converted into a grade P3 on a scale of 100-200 by multiplying the USQE score by:
- 0.5 for speciality 125 «Cybersecurity and Information Protection«;
- 0.625 for the specialities 274 «Road Transport» and 275 «Transport Technologies (by type)».
If, after multiplication, the score of P3 exceeds 200, it is set equal to 200.
