25 June , 2021  

The American University Kyiv (AUK) in partnership with the Arizona State University (ASU) will open in Kyiv soon, representative of the UDAR Vitali Klitschko party Dmytro Bilotserkivets said on Facebook page.
“Our children, who want to get a Western education, but do not always have the opportunity to travel abroad, will soon have such an opportunity in Kyiv, which ranks first in innovation among the U.S. universities. The new university will be located in the building of the river station on the Postal Square,” Bilotserkivets said.
At the presentation of the new university, Kyiv Mayor Klitschko said the city fully supports this project.
“Education is the key to life. Many guys dream of getting an American education. From now they have the opportunity not to go to the United States for education, but to get it here in Ukraine. This is a great idea, a wonderful project that has the full support of Kyiv authorities,” the mayor said.
Bilotserkivets said a number of investors have been involved in the project, both from the U.S. and Ukrainian sides. The U.S. investors are represented by Kurt Volcker, who also took part in the presentation.
It is expected that after the restoration of the historic building, the university will accept its first students in the next academic year.
