Entrance Examinations - 2025: we are grateful to our foreign partners
It is the fourthyear, that the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment has been conducting entrance examinations, namely the National Multisubject Test (NMT) for admission to bachelor’s programs and the Unified Entrance Exam (UEE) and Unified Professional Entrance Exam (UPEE) for admission to master’s programs, not only in Ukraine but also abroad.

However, it is worth the effort, when you see the results. And it is immensely impressive!
Thus, 81 temporary examination centers in 55 cities of 33 countries held the assessments abroad. Due to this, it was possible to create more than 18 000 workplaces for participants in the 2025 entrance examination.
The goals were achieved due to the collaboration of numerous stakeholders at various stages of preparation and examination. Each played a vital role in solving specific problems, including:
