The National Technical University of Ukraine ‘Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute’ has been training specialists from among foreign nationals since its foundation in 1898, and has kept a database of foreign graduates since 1945.
Traditionally, the Preparatory Department has been preparing foreigners for admission to universities, and since 1992 the Department of International Relations of NTUU ‘KPI’, the International Faculty together with the university structural units have been organising and supporting the education of foreigners.
In August 2012, by reorganising the International Faculty, the Centre for International Education of NTUU ‘KPI’ was established by the order of the rector of the university №4-237 from 17.08.12, which, along with other services, structurally included the preparatory department for foreign citizens.
The Centre for International Education (CIE) of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is a structural unit of the university for working with foreigners and stateless persons, which carries out:
- recruitment, legalisation of stay in Ukraine;
- accommodation in university dormitories;
- preparing foreigners and stateless persons for admission to higher education institutions of Ukraine;
- accompanies the educational process of foreign citizens in Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute at all educational levels: bachelor, master, candidate of science (Ph.D.), doctor of science (D.Sc.)
The IEC also organises and provides advanced training courses, retraining, workshops, and internships for foreigners and stateless persons in the structural units of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
