FOR SOUTH AFRICAN STUDENTS
Every year, South African international students come to Ukraine and study their medical, engineering, and business courses at different national universities.
For 2025-2026, we are accepting admission applications from South African international students who want to study their desired courses.
South African international students read, write, and speak English very well, as in South Africa, the official language is English, so South African international students study their medical and engineering courses directly with English as their medium of instruction.
South African international students have always been studying at almost every national university in Ukraine, no matter if it is a medical or engineering university, as Ukraine is a hub of international universities, where international students join every year their desired courses in huge numbers.
Both genders come to Ukraine for their higher education from South Africa, male and female South African students, and stay at university hostels in Ukraine.
International South African students in Ukraine enjoy their whole academic period because Ukraine offers the best for foreigners in all regards.
