On February 19, 2026, a significant event for the university's young scientific community took place at the Department of Performing Arts and Culture of the Faculty of Culture and Creative Industries of KNUTD – the current attestation of students of the third (educational-scientific) level of higher education.

First and second-year PhD students specializing in B12 "Culturology and Museology" and 034 "Cultural Studies" presented the results of their scientific activities before a professional commission.

The key aspects of the attestation were reporting on progress, within which PhD students reported in detail on the status of fulfilling individual scientific work plans, and research approbation with the presentation of results of work on dissertation topics covering current issues of modern culturological thought. Also, an important component of the event was a scientific discussion during the department meeting, where professional deliberation on methodological approaches and the practical value of future dissertation works took place.

The attestation confirmed the high level of preparation of future Doctors of Philosophy and their dedication to their chosen scientific vectors. The university continues to support young scientists, creating conditions for deep intellectual research that shapes the future of Ukrainian cultural studies.

We congratulate our PhD students on successfully passing another stage of their scientific journey!
