52.4% of foreign students who receive higher education in Ukrainian HEIs will recommend studying in Ukraine to their acquaintances. This is evidenced by the results of the marketing study on the attractiveness of Ukrainian higher education for foreign citizens.

 

The study was conducted by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the State Enterprise “Ukrainian State Center for International Education” and Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics during July-August 2020, and 451 foreign students studying in Ukrainian educational institutions participated in it.

 

“The fact that more than 50% of surveyed foreign students will recommend studying in Ukraine to their friends is an indicator of high reputation. This means that Ukrainian higher education is competitive and meets the expectations of students who come to study in Ukrainian HEIs” – said Director of “Study in Ukraine” Olena Shapovalova.

 

Thus, according to the study, 50.7% of the surveyed students came to study based on the recommendations of friends who studied in Ukraine.

 

According to Olena Shapovalova, in order to support and improve the image of Ukraine and higher education, it is necessary to continue to ensure high quality education and create appropriate conditions for the arrival, education and leisure of foreign students.
