Dear applicants and students!

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute is flexible regarding the format of studies for international students:
Students who wish to study in person are warmly encouraged to come to Kyiv and attend offline (on-campus) classes.
For those who prefer or require remote learning, online study options are also available.
In many cases, we offer a hybrid format, where lectures are conducted simultaneously for students attending physically and those connecting online.
We believe that experiencing KPI and Kyiv in person provides not only academic advantages but also unique cultural, social, and personal growth opportunities.
Please note:
Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, all educational activities are organized in accordance with current security regulations:
Offline studies may be subject to temporary adjustments depending on the security situation.
In case of air alerts or other emergency conditions, classes are paused or moved to shelters equipped for continuing learning.
The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority.
