Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University

The Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine, together with the initiative of the President of Ukraine Bring Kids Back UA and partners, are implementing an information campaign on the admission of children and youth from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to Ukrainian higher education institutions. Ukraine is waiting for its children and creating conditions for the path to education to be real, accessible and safe. Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University has joined the implementation of this information campaign. Admission conditions depend on the date of departure from the temporarily occupied territory. If you are on TOT or left after October 1, 2025, you can enroll without NMT, based on the results of an interview at the university. If you left earlier, admission is based on the results of NMT, but Quota-2 applies to you. Quota-2 is separate budget places for applicants from TOT and territories of active hostilities. Admission is held within the framework of a separate competition, which significantly increases the chances of studying under a state order. In most universities, this is about 10% of places, and in displaced and front-line institutions - up to 40%. Applicants who are on TOT or left after October 1, 2025, can independently choose the format of admission: according to the results of the National Medical Examination or through an interview. When entering a contract through an interview, a state grant for education is not provided. Even if you did not manage to enter the budget immediately, after enrolling in a contract, you can apply for a transfer to vacant budget places. Assistance to applicants is provided by the educational centers "Crimea-Ukraine" and "Donbas-Ukraine", which operate from June 1 to September 30. They accompany applicants at all stages: from completing the necessary assessments to submitting documents and passing an interview. Some procedures can be completed remotely, even before departure. During the admission process, applicants are provided with free housing, as well as state support, scholarships, and assistance with adaptation after moving. If you are just planning to leave the TOT, please contact us. The Bring Kids Back UA initiative helps you leave free of charge, confidentially, and with full support, even if you do not have documents. A safe route is selected for everyone. For those who are not yet ready to start studying right away, preparatory programs and “zero courses” are available that will help you brush up on your knowledge, adapt, and confidently prepare for admission. You are not alone — support and guidance are available at every stage.

How does a large retail store work from the inside? What kind of team creates a service for thousands of guests every day? Polytechnic students learned this during a visit to Silpo. They got to know the team and learned more about the corporate culture and opportunities for young professionals. And to make it more fun for young people, they held a quiz about Silpo. The students tried themselves as cashiers, practiced scanning products, and learned more about the intricacies of communicating with guests. And the most delicious thing: a burger-making master class - participants were shown how to create dishes according to the company's standards.

On April 25, on the occasion of the All-Ukrainian Psychologist's Day, a psychological workshop "Metaphor of the Life Path" was held by the Center for Helping the Rescued of Zaporizhzhia, co-organized by the Department of Psychology. The workshop was conducted by Tetyana Borodulkina - a psychologist at the Center, associate professor of the Department of Psychology, author of the MAK, author and psychologist of the project "Psychological Space "Entelechy of Meaning"". Among the participants were students, undergraduates and graduates of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University, city psychologists and teachers. Using subject metaphors, metaphorical associative maps with images of various roads, paths and trails, art methods, in particular drawing and modeling in the sand, the participants explored themselves and their life path, looking for answers to the questions "Who am I?", "Where am I now?", "At what stage of my life's journey am I?", "What path of my life am I taking?", "What helps me, supports me and is a resource?". We thank the Center for Assistance to the Rescued of Zaporizhzhia for the opportunity to join the psycho-emotional support of the residents of our front-line city! Thank you all for your active participation! The Center for Assistance to Rescued Persons in Zaporizhia was created on the initiative of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, with the assistance of the Government Commissioner for Gender Policy, in partnership with UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund in Ukraine, thanks to the financial support of the governments of Austria, Belgium, Spain, and Sweden in cooperation with local authorities and the NGO "Association of Women Ambassadors of Ukraine".

In April, the Department of Psychology co-organized psychological workshops for children from the Center for Assistance to the Rescued (CADA) of Zaporizhzhia. The partners of the Department — psychologists of the Center — conducted 2 online workshops. The main participants of the event were the students of the Youth Movement "Baida" (Cosmic and Shevchenko centers). On April 3, a psychological workshop on self-knowledge and resource search was successfully held. It was conducted by Viktoriya Verteba, a psychologist of the Center, a stakeholder and a graduate of the Department of Psychology of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University, and Tetyana Borodulkina, a psychologist of the Center, an associate professor of the Department of Psychology of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University. The workshop was aimed at helping teenagers and young men understand their inner world, strengthen their “I”, broaden their view of themselves and their lives, which is an important guarantee that a young person will be able to adequately overcome life's difficulties and cope with the stresses of today. The class included many interesting exercises: for getting to know each other and communicating, “I am in the form of a tree: my features and strengths” (working with metaphorical cards), for self-soothing and recovery, “My self-help resources”.  On April 24, Tatyana Borodulkina conducted a workshop on developing creativity “Go beyond the limits!”.

On March 2, organized by the Zaporizhzhia Regional Coordinator of the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Program “How Are You?” Serhiy Druzhynin, a unifying event was held with the participation of teachers and students of the Psychology specialty of Zaporizhzhia higher education institutions. NU “Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic” was represented by a delegation consisting of Vice-Rector Andriy Ivanchenko, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences Taisia ​​Gayvoronska, Head of the Department of Psychology Vladyslav Koval, and two dozen psychology students of various courses. The results of a study by the Coordination Center for Mental Health of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine together with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine “Training of Non-Medical Specialists in the Field of Mental Health: Challenges of the Time, Expectations of Society, and Market Needs” were presented. The survey covered the issues of psycho-emotional state, motivation for the profession, feeling of readiness for practice, vision of the professional future, and expectations regarding the quality of education. For higher education, this is part of direct quality management, interaction with students and the readiness of university services to work with the consequences of war. The content analysis of curricula conducted during the study revealed a gap between standards and real needs. More than 90% of the programs formally meet state educational standards, but are not sufficiently integrated into the current context and international practices. In Ukraine, several key roles have already been established among non-medical professionals:– psychotherapists (non-medical) provide long-term care for trauma, depression, PTSD– psychologists offer psychological care in communities and social services– psychosocial rehabilitation specialists contribute to the restoration of functions after trauma and injury– clinical psychologists work with disorders, conduct diagnostics and counseling– social workers help people in difficult life situations– clinical chaplains provide spiritual and psycho-emotional support in healthcare institutions Specialties related to psychology are consistently among the leaders among those chosen by Ukrainian applicants. The modern generation is aware of the importance of mental health. However, the existing system, in particular the medical one, is not able to cope with the volume of challenges on its own, because most of the requests are not about medicine at all. Therefore, it is non-medical professionals who can and are already becoming key providers of care for thousands of Ukrainians. During the panel discussions, the participants discussed the quality of training of specialists, as well as how much depends on qualified help. How important it is not to harm, but instead to add strength to the society, which lives in chronic tension and anxiety due to the Russian invasion. 31 higher educational institutions from 20 regions of Ukraine are united by a community within the framework of the All-Ukrainian mental health program "How are you?", among which from Zaporizhia region is Zaporizhia Polytechnic. We not only train future specialists, but also become a space for supporting mental health ourselves. Working together - developing together!

The event was attended by Svitlana Karpenko, Head of the Center for Student and Alumni Employment Assistance, Sofia Stepanenko, Acting Head of the Educational Department, and Anastasia Steshenko, Head of the Student Government.

Solutions were developed in key areas: interaction with students during their studies, the formation of a systemic ecosystem of connections, the development of international partnerships, and the strengthening of the role of graduates in crisis situations. The result of the work is a ready-made guide - a practical tool for the development of university communities.

Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University has received the ISO 9001 quality management system certificate, which confirms the high level of organization of the educational process and the compliance of the university's activities with international standards. The certificate is an important external confirmation that the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University has implemented and effectively operates a quality management system built on the principles of orderliness of processes, clear distribution of responsibility, documented procedures, control of results and continuous improvement. Key areas of activity - educational, scientific, research - are organized in accordance with modern international quality management standards. For the university, such certification has both practical and reputational significance. First of all, it strengthens the trust in the institution on the part of students, applicants, employees, employers, partners and other stakeholders. The certificate confirms the institutional ability to provide high quality services, stability of management processes, transparency of decisions and consistency in achieving the set goals. The presence of a certified quality management system is a significant advantage for the development of cooperation with government agencies, business, international organizations and academic partners. This confirms that the university works according to clear and recognized standards, is focused on results, responsibility and continuous improvement of its activities. Obtaining a certificate is not only a recognition of the work already done, but also a confirmation of the university's strategic course to improve the quality of educational, scientific and organizational activities. This is another step towards strengthening the positions of NU "Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic" as a modern, responsible and competitive higher education institution.

NU "Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic" currently serves as a shelter for internally displaced persons who were forced to leave their homes due to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. Dormitory No. 4 of Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic is currently home to a significant number of displaced persons, including children, people with disabilities, and people with limited mobility. Most residents arrived from areas of active hostilities or from temporarily occupied territories. The university has appealed to partners regarding the possibility of carrying out renovation work in the recreation room located on the first floor of Dormitory No. 4. This room is necessary for organizing events to provide psychological and legal support to internally displaced persons, as well as for conducting educational and developmental activities for children living in the dormitory. We are sincerely grateful to the public organization "Fight for Rights" for their involvement in resolving the issue of carrying out renovation work in the dormitory. The funds allocated by the public organization, together with the university's funding, enabled the contractor to carry out high-quality repairs to the leisure hall. The total project budget — about 150,000 hryvnias — allowed for the following:– replacement of electrical wiring– plastering of walls and wallpapering– installation of a suspended ceiling– installation of sockets and lamps– floor arrangement (laying carpet)– installation of an electrical panel and other necessary work The described cooperation contributes to the creation of decent living conditions for all residents of the dormitory, which is especially important for vulnerable categories of the population. Working together — developing together!

The regular employees of the student campus under the leadership of the director Vadym Dubina continue to work in an intensified mode and help the affected people. Thus, on February 21, the distribution of “warmth packages” from the Department of Social Protection of the Population of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration was organized in the dormitory No. 4. The bags contained things that are necessary during cold weather and power outages: blankets, thermoses, flashlights and power banks. The preparation of lists of recipients, the collection of displaced persons, the organization of unloading and the actual distribution of aid were successfully carried out by the employees of the dormitory No. 4: the head of the dormitory Valery Ignashov, his deputy Svitalana Voronina and the castellan Lyudmila Andriychenko. About 200 people living in the temporary residence of internally displaced persons in the dormitory No. 4 of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University received assistance. As noted by Vice-Rector Andriy Ivanchenko, who visited the dormitory on the day of the aid distribution, such support is extremely important in the conditions of martial law and regular power outages. The university will continue to contribute to ensuring proper living conditions for internally displaced persons and will interact with state authorities and social partners to provide comprehensive assistance to those in need. Zaporizhia Polytechnic University never stands aside!

One of our reliable partners is the French non-governmental organization Association "TRIANGLE GENERATION HUMANITER". The goal of cooperation is to join forces to support the civilian population affected by armed aggression. After numerous enemy strikes near dormitory No. 4, there was an urgent need to restore the damaged infrastructure, in particular, to replace the doors. As part of the implemented project, a complex of dismantling and installation works was carried out, namely:– 24 interior doors were replaced (with handles and locks);– 1 new metal entrance door was installed (with handles and locks);– slopes were installed The total cost of the work performed was over 370 thousand hryvnias. We sincerely thank our partners for their support and contribution to creating safe and comfortable living conditions for residents!
