Reviews about KNU im. T. Shevchenko
The largest university in Ukraine and its subdivisions has a huge number of students. These are full-time students, and part-time students, and visitors to preparatory courses, and students of the lyceum and those who study at the college.
Naturally, they will not have a common opinion about their educational institution. Someone is happy with everything, someone is not very happy, others would like to change everything for the better.
A number of students and applicants note the high level of corruption within the walls of the university and the impossibility of enrolling talented but poor children in the budget department. There is no official information on this topic, however, almost everyone who wants to, even at the stage of submitting documents, knows how much it costs to enter a particular department. Paid education is much more expensive.
Some of them note the lack of practical training in some areas, especially in technical speci alties. Of course, the employer will appreciate the presence of a prestigious diploma, but this does not mean that you cannot know and be able to do anything. Many graduates of this direction have to additionally make up for practice in private courses.
However, what most reviews agree on is that today the quality of education in Ukraine at Shevchenko University is the mosthigh. And the diplomas of this particular university are valued among the employers of the country. No matter how many shortcomings he has, he still remains the most prestigious Ukrainian alma mater.
