Metinvest Polytechnic, Ukraine’s first private mining and metals university, announces the start of the 2024 admission campaign. Bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes in modern engineering and technical specialities will start in September, while courses preparing applicants for the national multidisciplinary test (NMT) will begin in March.
Oleksandr POVAZHNIY, rector of Metinvest Polytechnic, said: “The start of the admission campaign at Metinvest Polytechnic opens the doors to a new stage for future leaders who will not only be the driving force behind Ukraine’s restoration, but also key architects of the modernisation of our industry. In times of war, higher engineering education takes on a new meaning for Ukraine. Students of Metinvest Polytechnic have real opportunities to gain practical experience in actual production conditions, advance in science, and build a successful career in the Ukrainian industry.”
Metinvest Polytechnic is open to everyone. In addition to obtaining higher education on a contractual basis, there is an opportunity to study on a scholarship from Metinvest, which allows students to receive education at the Group’s expense without spending their own money. Metinvest covers tuition fees for its employees and their children, as well as for students who are willing to work at the Group’s production facilities during and after their studies.
This year, the university is enrolling students for 16 bachelor’s and 18 master’s programmes and is also introducing a postgraduate programme. In particular, the university will train bachelor’s degree students in metallurgy, mineral resources development, materials science, computer science, automation and computer-integrated technologies, environmental protection, mechanical equipment and systems engineering, power supply and electromechanical systems engineering, business analytics, value-based business management, welding and occupational safety. All study programmes have undergone a business review.
Future bachelor’s students will have to pass the NMT, which, according to preliminary information, should take place from 14 May to 19 July. From 1 July, applicants will be able to create electronic profiles to submit their applications. Master’s degree applicants will take a single entrance or professional exam, depending on the chosen study programme. More information about all stages and their deadlines will be available in late April.
Metinvest Polytechnic’s online NMT preparatory courses will help to prepare students for the entrance exam. The two-and-a-half-month programme will cover the Ukrainian language, mathematics, the history of Ukraine, physics and chemistry. Graduates of the courses will receive a bonus: additional points in the first academic semester, which increases their chances of receiving scholarships. Applications for the preparatory courses are accepted until 1 March.
Metinvest Polytechnic combines distance learning with dual education and offline laboratory workshops. Internships take place at Metinvest’s production facilities in Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih and Kamianske. The top students will be offered internships at the Group’s facilities abroad. The skills students acquire during their studies will enable them to fully master their profession and work at any facility in the world.
Metinvest Polytechnic is the university of the future, offering broad new opportunities for young people and using modern digital systems and platforms in education. Metinvest Group established the university in June 2020 and the first students were enrolled in 2022. The project’s key goal is to create European-level higher education in Ukraine. The people studying at the university have chosen technical professions that are in demand in the labour market. Metinvest Group guarantees a first job and career growth for the top students, in addition to financial and other incentives.
