A new group of students who decided to take a responsible step into adulthood and independent life, entrusting the formation of their future professional knowledge and skills to our teaching staff, joined our Faculty.

Natalia Valentynivna also spoke about security measures at the University during the air-raid alarm, the student cafe, the scientific and technical library, the student center for fashion, creative ideas and creativity. She paid special attention to the strong teaching staff of the Faculty’s departments and noted that most of the academic staff members have practical experience in scientific, industrial, artistic, and design fields, which they actively pass on to students, teaching them to apply the acquired knowledge, skills, and abilities.

That is why, she pointed out, it is necessary to join the student government, which aims to protect the rights and interests of students, ensure their participation in the University management, as well as create opportunities for the intellectual and creative development of students, and promote social and public activity of higher education students.
