"As an Australian with Ukrainian heritage, I was so delighted and fortunate to be accepted into National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy as a Free Mover student. Situated in one of the oldest districts in the city, Podil, NaUKMA boasts a prestigious reputation as one of Ukraine's finest universities and is truly progressive in its appeal to both current and prospective students. As a Free Mover, I was able to select courses catered to my interests and busy schedule, making it incredibly flexible. Having Ukrainian heritage, for me it was essential to study subjects taught in the Ukrainian language. However, a number of courses are taught in English. The location of the university is extremely convenient, only a short walk from the metro station, even within walking distance to the historical city centre. The atmosphere in the Podil district is always lively and a real student presence can be felt here. The Academy offers a number of extra-curricular activities and ensures students settle in with ease. Studying here has truly allowed me to engage in an student-friendly community with a historically rich, authentic Ukrainian backdrop."
