Student Life & Environment

Student experience is distributed across a large estate rather than a single compact campus. The university describes 20 teaching buildings and 16 apartment-style residence halls across Kharkiv, Poltava, and Kyiv. Its published inventory reports 6,861 residence places, but this is institutional capacity rather than a guarantee that a particular applicant will receive accommodation. Students should ask the relevant admissions or faculty office which residences are operating, where their classes will be based, and what allocation rules apply in 2026. Academic and social facilities include a teaching-library complex, student palace, dining facilities, medical and wellness premises, computer rooms, reading rooms, and cultural spaces. The university also describes a sports complex with training and aerobics rooms, a competition hall, swimming pool, saunas, and a stadium. Because the facilities page appears to be a standing institutional inventory, applicants should verify current access and operating arrangements, especially in Kharkiv. Student life is shaped by flexible delivery options. The university’s 2026 program page permits blended or fully online participation for full-time students in specified years, while some programs also have distance or part-time forms. This flexibility may be important for students managing security, relocation, work, or family obligations. It also means that social contact, access to facilities, and residence needs may vary considerably by program and chosen mode.

Location & Surroundings

The university’s main legal address is 77 Hryhoriia Skovorody Street in Kharkiv, in northeastern Ukraine. Kharkiv is the institution’s principal academic and administrative base, while official materials also describe buildings and residences in Poltava and Kyiv. Some applicants may therefore study through a named institute or faculty outside the main Kharkiv setting; the location attached to the specific admissions offer should be checked before applying or arranging accommodation. Kharkiv’s wartime security environment is a material part of the study decision. The university was actively admitting students in August 2026 and publishes blended and online teaching options, indicating continued operation and adaptation. This does not establish that every building, residence, or in-person activity is continuously available. Prospective students should obtain current information from the university and consult official government travel and civil-protection guidance before relocating. For students based in Kharkiv, the university’s teaching buildings and residences are spread among several addresses rather than enclosed within one residential campus. That arrangement can affect commuting, daily routines, and access to facilities. Applicants should confirm their faculty address, expected in-person attendance, residence assignment, and transport needs as a single planning exercise.

Costs & Career Outcomes

The official 2026 fee schedule separates citizenship category, degree, subject, and study mode. For Ukrainian citizens entering a standard 240-ECTS bachelor’s program in International Relations, Law, or International Law, the listed charge is UAH 65,000 per academic year full-time or UAH 33,700 part-time. The published full-program totals are UAH 260,000 and UAH 134,800 respectively. The separate Law Enforcement Activity bachelor’s program carries different prices and duration. For Ukrainian citizens in the 90-ECTS master’s programs in Law or International Law, 2026 fees are UAH 84,300 per academic year full-time, UAH 44,000 part-time, or UAH 46,000 by distance study. International bachelor’s and master’s fees vary by residency or protection category, mode, program, and teaching language. For example, standard full-time bachelor’s Law or International Law is listed at UAH 96,010 annually for specified residents and protected categories and UAH 120,020 for other international students. English-taught International Law has a separate fee. The contract determines whether payment is made at once, annually, by semester, or monthly. Housing and living costs are not published on the cited fee page and should be budgeted separately. The university’s Career Support and Employment Department organizes employer meetings, training, consultations, vacancy fairs, and support during practical placements. It also circulates internship and employment opportunities from law firms, private companies, public authorities, and local government. These services indicate structured career support, but the university does not provide verified placement rates or salary outcomes on the cited pages; applicants should not treat access to opportunities as a guarantee of employment.
