Reviews of KNU them. T. Shevchenko
In the largest university in Ukraine and its divisions, a huge number of students. These are full-time students, part-time students, and preparatory course visitors, and lyceum students and those studying in college.
Naturally, they will not have a unified 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 a high level of corruption within the walls of the university and the inability to enter talented but not rich children in the budget department. Official information on this subject does not exist, but almost everyone who wants to know at the stage of submitting documents knows how much it costs to enter one or another department. Paid tuition is much more expensive.
Some of them note the lack of practical training in some areas, especially for technical specialties. Of course, the employer will appreciate the availability of a prestigious diploma, but this does not mean that it is impossible to know and be able to do so. Many graduates of this orientation additionally have to catch up on practice at private courses.
However, what the majority of reviews agree on is that today the quality of education in Ukraine at Shevchenko University is the highest. And the diplomas of this particular university are appreciated among the country's employers. No matter how many flaws he has, he still remains the most prestigious Ukrainian alma mater.
