Higher education to benefit from top global academics

The board of the President of Ukraine’s Foundation for Support of Education, Science and Sports has approved the launch of a new programme that will enable the involvement of prominent public figures and lecturers from leading foreign universities to teach students in Ukraine, reports UNN.

As explained in the Office of the President, despite the fact that foreign lecturers had previously given lectures in Ukraine, this programme will significantly expand the geography of cooperation and develop interaction not only with private but also with state higher education institutions.

Ukrainian universities will be able to invite lecturers from the 250 best universities in the world, including MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, and Columbia University. Foreign lecturers will not only conduct lectures online but also teach students directly in Ukraine for three to nine months. Cooperation with foreign universities will also contribute to improving the positions of Ukrainian higher education institutions in international rankings.
