  • Cybersecurity
  • Software Engineering
  • Computer Science
  • Law
  • International Relations

Studying in these fields will cost applicants 86,700 UAH per year. This is 20,000 UAH more than in the previous academic year.

Budget-Friendly Options

At the same time, the university offers more affordable programs. The minimum tuition threshold is set for majors related to natural sciences, pedagogy, and humanities. These include:

  • Biology, Chemistry, Physics

What Applicants Need to Know

The university emphasizes that the stated rates apply exclusively to full-time study. Applicants are advised to take these changes into account when planning their educational path and financial budget.

It is worth noting that in 2026, the vast majority of applicants to Ukrainian universities will submit applications only in electronic form. To do this, you must create a personal account in the ZNO system and prepare a package of documents. This year, applicants can submit up to 10 applications, five of which can be for state-funded places.

Earlier reports indicated that tuition fees for the "Medicine" major in Ukraine vary significantly depending on the university and region: in 2025, they ranged from 34,000 to almost 90,000 UAH per year.
