UEE 2024: What to expect?
The Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment has published the characteristics of the Unified Entrance Exam, or UEE, which will be taken by all applicants to this year’s master’s degree programs and some postgraduate programs. This test will include a General Knowledge Test (GKT) and a foreign language test (English, German, French or Spanish at the applicant’s choice). The number of tasks of each test, the forms of test tasks, the time allotted for their completion, and the scoring scheme have been determined.
The Test of General Knowledge will be made in accordance with the Program of the General Knowledge Test in 2022, and the Foreign Language Test – in accordance with the Program of the Unified Foreign Language Entrance Exam in 2019.
The TGK block will include two components: verbal-communicative and logical-analytical. There will be 27 tasks in total:
- 4 – to fill in the gaps in the microtexts (subtasks 1-10) (you will need to complete the sentences in the microtext with phrases/words by choosing them from the given options);
- 23 – multiple-choice questions.
The test will take 75 minutes to complete.
The tasks of the TGK will be evaluated in accordance with the scoring scheme. That is, 1 test point will be awarded for each correct answer to a multiple-choice question and 1 test point for each correctly filled-in gap in the microtext. Thus, you can get from 0 to 33 test points for completing all the tasks of the TKNK.
- The foreign language block (English, German, French or Spanish at the applicant’s choice) will consist of two parts: reading and language use.
The test will contain 30 tasks:
- 6 – matching tasks (you will have to match statements/situations to advertisements/texts, questions to answers or answers to questions)
- 5 – multiple-choice questions;
- 19 – to fill in the gaps in the text (you need to complete the sentences in the text with phrases/words from the given options).
You have 45 minutes to complete the test tasks.
According to the scoring scheme, 1 test point will be awarded for each correct answer to the multiple-choice questions, 1 test point for each correctly identified “logical pair” in the matching tasks, and 1 test point for each correctly filled-in gap in the text.
Thus, you can get from 0 to 30 points for completing the tasks of the foreign language unit.
We remind you that registration for the UEE will begin on May 07 and will last until May 29. If you have any questions, please contact us!

Чи будуть гранти на освіту?
Today, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine passed a draft law on changes to the financing of higher education in the first reading.
The main provisions of the draft law:
📌 Some students will study at the expense of the state budget, and some will receive state grants for education. This does not imply a reduction in budget funds for the training of specialists with higher education, the procedure for distribution is changed.
📌 The state budget will be formed depending on the needs of the state. For key specialties (e.g., doctors, teachers, military, engineers, etc.), full budget support for training (on a competitive basis) is preserved. A system of guaranteed first job after graduation is also being introduced.
📌 The principle of “money follows the student”, according to which the student, not the university, receives funding, will be further developed. The student will receive a certain amount of money for education (grant) based on the results of the EIT / NMT.
The amount of the grant will be determined by the government, but within the established range of 15 to 50 thousand hryvnias. The most talented applicants will receive a grant that will cover all tuition costs, while co-financing will be applied to the rest.

- The specialties for which professional entrance exams can be taken include agricultural sciences, economics, management, culture and art, social and behavioral sciences, public administration and administration.
- To calculate the competition score, a formula is used that takes into account subject grades, weighting factors, results of a creative competition, the score of a professional entrance exam, and points for successful completion of preparatory courses at higher education institutions. For an example, see our infographic.
- Registration for professional entrance exams is carried out from April 19 to April 30 during the main session, and from June 10 to June 14 for participation in the additional session.
