Simplified Admissions Process for Veterans
Metinvest Polytechnic University has introduced a streamlined admission and study process for veterans, allowing them to pursue education with support from Metinvest or through vouchers provided by the State Employment Service. Veterans can enter bachelor's programs without taking the national multi-subject test, and for master's programs, only an interview is required. Interviews begin on July 8.
Over 50 veterans have already taken advantage of this opportunity to study at the university. The most popular fields of study include:
- computer science
- digital technologies
- automation
- management
- metallurgy
- mining
Studying at Metinvest Polytechnic became a bridge to a new career for me. Thanks to the remote format and support from instructors, I was able to master modern digital technologies and gain a profession that is in demand today. The flexible schedule allowed me to balance studies with other commitments, while mentorship from teachers helped me quickly learn a modern tech stack—from big data to AI. — Illia Illiashenko, university graduate
Study Programs and Veteran Support
In 2026, the university will offer 17 bachelor's and 17 master's programs, as well as PhD training. The learning model combines online instruction with hands-on practice at Metinvest Group facilities in Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, and Kamianske. Veterans can also pursue retraining, advanced training, or short-term educational programs.
Metinvest Polytechnic is Ukraine's first private mining and metallurgical university, providing veterans with access to quality education as they seek new knowledge and skills in a rapidly changing world.
This initiative not only simplifies veterans' access to higher education but also addresses the needs of the modern labor market, which demands specialists in digital technologies and automation. The importance of education for veterans transitioning to civilian life highlights the joint efforts of the state and businesses to support their adaptation and integration into society. Given the growing demand for technical professions, such programs can significantly change lives by offering new career development opportunities.
