Training of foreign citizens

VISA REQUIREMENTS

Applicants from visa-required countries, as well as countries with which Ukraine has signed agreements for a visa-free stay of up to 90 days (for tourist, private, or business trips), must obtain a long-term (“study,” type D) visa to Ukraine, which allows staying in Ukraine for more than 90 days.

Citizens of countries with which Ukraine has visa-free agreements—Georgia, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan—do not need to obtain a visa to enter Ukraine. However, they must provide the original or a photocopy of the “Invitation to Study” when crossing the Ukrainian border as proof of the purpose of their entry.

To obtain a type D visa (D13), a study candidate must submit the required documents to the Ukrainian consulate in their country, as listed on the Embassy’s website. This list of documents must include the original “Invitation to Study.” Additionally, please note that your documents proving prior education must be officially certified in the manner accepted in your country before submission to the consulate (legalized through the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ukrainian Embassy in your country, or certified with an Apostille stamp and legalized at the Ukrainian Embassy). These documents must be officially recognized in Ukraine for the Ukrainian university to issue a diploma upon completion of studies. Please note that foreign educational documents must be submitted for recognition to the competent authority before the start of studies or within the first month of studies (in accordance with changes in national legislation regarding the recognition of foreign qualifications).

All “Invitations to Study” issued by the university undergo mandatory registration with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine through the Ukrainian State Center for International Education before being issued to applicants. The university provides consulates with official confirmation of such registration (visa support). Without visa support, the consulate will not accept a foreigner’s documents for a student visa.

RULES AND ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR FOREIGN CITIZENS

Key to Successful Studies

Foreign citizens must regularly attend classes, complete homework on time, engage in sports, spend time outdoors, rest, and actively participate in the university’s cultural life.

It is mandatory for students to study at home, attend language workshops, and consult with professors and lecturers during classes.

Students must adhere to their schedules, never miss classes without a valid reason, and avoid being late. Every student should understand that consistent, diligent academic work throughout the year will significantly simplify exam preparation and save time.

Any student who misses 20% or more of academic hours without a valid reason will face difficulties completing the course and may even be expelled from the Premature Ejaculation Medicine university.

Violation of Academic Rules and Penalties

Students who miss classes without a valid reason or fail to comply with rules during classes or in the dormitory are held accountable for violating university regulations.

If a student violates Ukrainian law and is found guilty by a court, they will be punished in accordance with the court’s ruling.

If a student is found guilty of violating university rules, they will receive a reprimand. The educational services contract stipulates expulsion after three reprimands.

Termination of the educational services contract results in the immediate loss of the student’s right to reside in the dormitory and subsequent eviction.

If an expelled individual refuses to leave Ukraine, they must be deported to their home country in accordance with the law, with formal recognition as persona non grata. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine must notify the embassy of the country to which the individual is deported.

Daily Routine and Examinations

Classes start and end according to the schedule. The duration of classes is 80 minutes, with breaks after each 80-minute session. Students must familiarize themselves with the schedule before classes begin. During classes, students should not visit the dean’s office, department, cafeteria, or other facilities. The department accepts students after 14:00.

Students may consult with their instructors during and after classes.

Student performance is assessed based on test results, laboratory and individual work, completed credits, and passed exams.

Exams are permitted only after completing all mandatory tests, laboratory work, and consultations. During the winter session, students take written and oral exams in Russian (Ukrainian) language and receive credits for all other subjects. During the summer session (June-July), students take written and oral exams in Russian (Ukrainian) language, mathematics, physics, chemistry, economic geography, and receive credits in drafting, political science, and informatics. These exams are considered entrance exams for the university.

Students are evaluated on a 100-point scale, where:

• 1–59 points: Unsatisfactory (equivalent to ECTS grades “F” [1–34 points] or “FX” [35–59 points]).
• 60–74 points: Satisfactory (equivalent to ECTS grades “E” [60–66 points] or “D” [67–74 points]).
• 75–89 points: Good (equivalent to ECTS grades “C” [75–81 points] or “B” [82–89 points]).
• 90–100 points: Excellent (equivalent to ECTS grade “A”).

A student who receives an unsatisfactory exam grade is considered to have failed the exam.

Students who successfully pass final exams may, if desired, continue their studies at our university or any other university in Ukraine.

During the examination session, students must appear for exams on time as indicated in the schedule. Late students are not admitted to the exam. Retaking an exam after the general deadline is allowed only in exceptional cases with documented proof of the reason for postponement.

Students who fail to appear for an exam without a valid reason may be expelled from the university.

Addressing Academic Debts

Students are required to pass all exams and tests specified in the curriculum within the designated timeframe.

If a student receives an unsatisfactory grade (1–59 points on the 100-point scale) on an exam, they must retake it no later than two weeks after the session.

If a student receives three unsatisfactory grades, they are not allowed to retake these exams and may be expelled from the university due to academic debts.

Students are allowed to retake an exam in the following cases:

• If the student failed the exam due to a valid reason.
• If the student has no more than two academic debts.

According to the retake procedure, the student must complete all required laboratory or graphic assignments before being allowed to retake the exam or credit.

To retake an exam after the deadline set by the faculty dean’s office or institute directorate, the student must submit a request for permission to retake the exam.

An expelled student must leave the country within the specified timeframe.

Procedure for Contacting the University’s International Relations Department and Dean’s Office/Directorate

Throughout their studies, students may need to address issues such as obtaining invitations and visas, accessing information, receiving assistance in choosing a specialty, and more.

If a student requires an official document from the dean’s office/directorate or the Sector for Work with Foreign Citizens of the International Relations Department to submit to other institutions, they must submit an official application specifying their full name, country of origin, academic group, and the nature of the request.

If a preparatory department student encounters difficulties filling out the application, they should contact the staff of the department responsible for foreign students.

Student applications and requests are reviewed by the head of the department and the vice-rector coordinating international activities at NUFT.

The dean’s office/directorate is open daily from 14:00 to 17:00, except on weekends.

Care for University Equipment and Property

Students must treat university books, equipment, and furniture with care and keep the campus, classrooms, and workspaces clean.

A student who causes damage to university property must fully compensate for the losses as specified in the transfer act.

In cases of more serious violations, the student may be expelled from the university after compensating for the damages.

During laboratory or practical classes, students must strictly follow all instructions and orders from the laboratory supervisor or assistant.

Turning on or operating any equipment is permitted only with the permission of the instructor or laboratory assistant.
