Student Market Information

Ukrainian educational market is developing rather rapidly. During the past 2 years we noticed the significant growth of interest /enrolments for the academic programmes abroad comparatively to a relative decrease in the interest to the short term language courses. More and more wealthy Ukrainians tend to invest money into a high quality education abroad on their children rather than buying them expensive toys.

The other important point isits prestige which makes education abroad very attractive among the upper class in Ukraine. Educators at the UPPF Fair will have the opportunity to meet with at least 1000 direct students from Kiev, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Odessa and other regions.

Student recruitment fairs are the most effective way to access international students. About 80% of potential students attend educational fairs which results up to 50% of enrolments.

I heard about Educational Fair on the radio.  I am about to graduate from Ukrainian university and have been thinking about taking a Masters degree abroad very seriously, that is why I was so happy to hear about the opportunity to talk to educational professionals in person. I was really impressed with the organization of the event. All the staff and assistants have been great, very friendly and helpful.  As the event had clearly been heavily promoted and attracted a large number of well-informed, well-prepared students, all of them seemed to have a serious intention to study abroad.
