Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (reviews)

I’m in my 4th year at Kyiv National University of Taras Shevchenko, Institute of Journalism to be exact.

And I really enjoy my time here because we study so much relevant and diverse. But there is a but.

My program intends to graduate experienced professionals, which is an amazing on theory. On practice, you cannot do that without a solid preparation AND experienced educators.

Most lecturers had no idea why they are here and organization was on the lowest level possible. But it is a general problem across university.

Lecturers have alsot hard time getting into students’ shoes and struggle to get over bureaucracy.

Overall, I would really love to see this program relaunched with the right choice of lecturers and changed approach from a VERY theoretical one to more practical and applicable in job environment.

First of all, teachers are strict, but fair with good knowledge and perfect teaching background. On-campus not many innovative classes. Students are friendly and always welcome new people. Overall, the study program is well-organized.

I would say that this is the most popular university among Ukrainian students. The lecturers are really professionals in their field. But sometimes they load us too much with studies. But every time you need some help, they always will be by your side to help you. Student life is pretty cool. Often a lot of events going on there, so you won’t be bored for sure.

Amazing opportunities, open-minded people, good location, mix of old and young tutors, delicious food, fascinating student organizations, impartial scale of estimating, nice start for future career, a lot of emotions
