The “Architecture of Resilience” Veterans Institute at the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture will hold a series of open house events in May for veterans, defenders, and their family members.
According to the organizers, the events will take place on May 15, May 21, and May 28, 2026, at 3:00 PM at the following address: 2 Preobrazhenska St., KNUCA Student Center.
During the open house events, participants will be able to obtain information about admission opportunities to higher education institutions for veterans and their family members, benefits, support, and personalized admission pathways, as well as learn about educational, retraining, and professional development programs.
In addition, the organizers will present opportunities for psychological, social, and rehabilitation support provided by the Veterans Cluster of Ukraine and the KNUBA Institute of Veterans. Veterans and their families will also have the opportunity to ask the support team questions regarding education, adaptation, and further professional development.
KNUBA noted that the Institute of Veterans has begun preparations for the 2026 admissions campaign for veterans, defenders of Ukraine, as well as their children and family members. The program provides for admission to higher education institutions without the National Multidisciplinary Test (NMT)—based on an interview—the opportunity to study in over 100 fields and more than 250 educational programs, as well as individual support—from submitting documents to finding employment or starting a business.
The institute notes that education for veterans is viewed as a tool for returning to an active professional role and participating in the country’s reconstruction. That is why the program combines academic study with psychological support, rehabilitation components, practical projects, and partnerships with employers.
Programs are available in full-time, part-time, and distance learning formats—across Ukraine and from abroad. For veterans and defenders, admission is granted without the National Multidisciplinary Test (NMT) or the Unified State Exam (USE), based solely on an interview that takes into account prior service, educational, or work experience.
The 2026 admissions campaign places special emphasis on fields critical to the country’s recovery, including engineering, construction, architecture, IT, management, security, ecology, physical rehabilitation, and sports.
Participation in tuition-free education, as the organizers clarify, involves the use of state compensation programs, grants, scholarships, and support from employers.
Admission takes place within the framework of the main admissions campaign—from July 1 to August 10—with documents required to be prepared and submitted by July 1.
The program’s partner universities include Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine, Western Ukrainian National University, Yuriy Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic National University, Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Drohobych National Pedagogical University, Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Ivan Pul’uj Ternopil National Technical University, and the University of Educational Management.
