More than 60% of people occupying prestigious positions (according to job search portals) are those who studied abroad or have an MBA. It is believed that they have stronger knowledge (practice on modern equipment and t. ), Than at the honors pupils who studied in the homeland. But adding the cherished line in the summary about studying abroad - the pleasure is not cheap, many consider. This is not quite true, because you can go to study abroad to study on a scholarship. It's not easy to do this. But an impossible dream can not be called. Every year, about a dozen countries give a chance to our students, there are many exchange programs and a double diploma for universities, a program for academic mobility, and there is also an opportunity to receive money for study in Ukraine from our embassy to compatriots living abroad. SCHOLARSHIPS FROM THE EMBASSY EMBASSY Monitoring of announcements about scholarships and grants for study on the website of the Ministry of Science and Education of Ukraine is possible all year round. According to such programs, 1-3 thousand people leave for study each year. Of Ukrainian students. Here you can find offers from universities / governments of Korea, Jordan, Britain, Hungary, UAE, Estonia, Greece, Slovakia, etc.. At the same time, there may be announcements from specific universities that are ready to receive students with the assistance of the government, and from the governments of the country. The programs usually indicate the offered specialties, for which the student can leave, the number of places, the time of study, the language of instruction, the required documents, the deadline for submission, and t. In high schools recommend to carefully read the terms of the scholarship, and also warn that you can not "chop off the ends" with his university. "Many are inspired, begin to deal with design, planning the future in their head for years ahead. And later they understand that they did not pay attention to the language of teaching or the deadlines for filing documents. I remember a student who read that the language of instruction is Indonesian only when he came to a consultation with the department for international cooperation of the university. There are also those who send their documents to random, knowing that the deadline has passed. Concerning the latter, such a step is inconclusive: I do not remember that the scholarship was declared dopnabor, "- explained the head of the international department of the Kharkov university Mikhail Tregub. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATORS ON THE BENEFIT The desire to obtain an MBA from a prestigious business school is often "undermined" not by a low test result or a lack of leadership / experience, but by the lack of the right amount (from several thousand dollars) to pay for studies. Obtaining a scholarship, although difficult, but it is possible: it can be partial, and full payment for studies. The scholarships are offered by the business schools themselves, as can be found on their website. The selection criteria can be different: from outstanding academic results and leadership achievements (for example, Wharton Business School) to the financial needs of applicants (Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth). Can allocate and on any special grounds (sexual, national and. So, scholarships as a gender equalization (for women) are given by London Business School, INSEAD, Chicago Booth and t. And some individual funds (The Forte Foundation, Herman Family Fellowship and. And as support for individual nationalities, for example in the IMD, there is support for the Jim Ellert MBA Scholarships - for residents of Africa, South Asia, Central and Eastern Europe. "It is difficult for Ukrainians to find a scholarship for themselves also because Western sponsors are not advertised at every turn. It is necessary to find and consider business schools that offer scholarships for students of the former CIS countries. Such offers can be found at the IEDC-Bled School of Management, the Edmund Muskie (Muskie), Fulbright, and t. "- says the participant of the Fulbright program Irina Maykova from Kiev. EXCHANGE AND STUDEXPATES Student exchange and a double diploma program are good options for Ukrainian students, giving the opportunity to trump card in their resume by overseas education and bannock. All the nuances on these issues are resolved in the department of international cooperation or academic mobility of the university. The chances for such studies are quite high (at the university level). The peculiarities of these programs are that studies are often not tied to the course (even a sophomore with the knowledge of the necessary language can leave), it lasts 1 semester for exchange (free education, although there are exceptions) and more (if the academy is mobile, then in this case the receiving party Even pays a scholarship). Upon returning the student surrenders the discipline that "owes", and the listened abroad will be displayed in the diploma as an extract about academic achievements. DOUBLE "BAG". To receive a foreign diploma in addition to Ukrainian, you need to be a bachelor or master, and study will last 1-2 years. At the same time, if in the first case the student has enough to express a wish and know the language in which the found course will be read, then the requirements for double diplomacy are tougher: one must study well, know the language to the point of passing an international exam (in some universities this is mandatory). By the way, the student can go to study only where his specialty allows (at home universities foreign partners do not have all the faculties), and costs (they can be covered in full, partially or not covered at all). "ZAGRANUKRAINTSY". There is also a downside to the medal, when it is not foreigners that invite you and help with payment, but our embassy cares that Ukrainians living outside the state can receive a scholarship to study in Ukraine.

The allocation of such scholarships is carried out on the basis of the recommendations of the Ukrainian Embassy in the country where the candidate resides or the officially registered Ukrainian National Cultural Society. Scholarships can be given to those who receive a certain educational and qualification level for the first time, preference is given to such areas as pedagogical education, art, humanities, journalism and information, socio-political sciences.
