Entry from TOT or areas of active hostilities — Bring Kids Back UA

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 institutions of higher education. Ukraine is waiting for its children and creates conditions so that the path to education is real, accessible and safe.

NU «Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic» joined the implementation of this information campaign.

Entry 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 enter without NMT, based on the results of an interview at the university. If you left earlier, admission is based on the results of the National Medical Examination, but Quota-2 applies to you.

Quota-2 is a separate budget place for applicants from TOT and areas 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 admission format: based on the results of the National Medical Examination or through an interview. When entering into a contract by interview, a state grant for training is not provided.

Even if you were unable to enter the budget immediately, after enrolling in the contract, you can apply for transfer to vacant budget positions.

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 admission, applicants are provided with free housing, as well as state support, scholarships, and assistance with adaptation after moving.

If you are only planning to leave the TOT, contact us. As part of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, they help you leave free of charge, confidentially, and with full support, even in the absence of 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.
