Overview

Ukrainian PhD programs are 3–4 years and cover all major research fields. The tradition of deep, rigorous academic research — inherited from the Soviet era — makes Ukrainian PhD programs genuinely strong in mathematical sciences, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine.

PhD candidates work closely with a supervisor (nauk. kerivnyk) who guides the research project. International students can publish their research in Ukrainian and international journals. Defense is open to the public.

The most successful international PhD students at Ukrainian universities share one thing: they came with a well-defined research question and identified a potential supervisor before arriving. Contact us and we can help you find the right supervisor match.
