History

The Academy started training international students in the middle 50s of the last century. Just then the first foreign graduates who studied at the faculty of urban planning got their diplomas. They were citizens of the People’s Republic of Poland and the Socialist Republic of Romania.

During the following years, the number of foreign students constantly increased and by the end of the seventies, it was over 100 people. Therefore the Ministry of Higher and Specialized Secondary Education of the USSR decided to create the Foreign Students Department (resolution dated 20.08.1978). By that time foreign students were educated at three faculties – urban development, electric power supply and lighting of cities, and urban electric transport.

In the early 80s, the number of students was over 200 people. In addition to citizens from the “Council for Mutual Economic Assistance” member countries among them were citizens from other countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America – coming from fifty countries overall.

Since the mid-’80s the Academy began to train foreign citizens at the highest qualification level. Since then more than 150 foreigners have successfully finished a postgraduate course and defended their dissertations (Dr. Ph.D.), among them: Gudari Radzheshvar (Republic of Mauritius, 1989), Muhammad Tahir and Hassan Rabah Hassan Abdul Judy (Republic of Iraq, 1991) Al Azam Mohammad Tayseer and Ravashdeh (Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, 2001), Nihad Mahmoud Ashram (Syrian Arab Republic, 2001), Derder Wafa (Morocco, 2004), Saleh Koksharov Feruzshah (Republic of Iraq, 2004) Hasanseyfeydin (Republic of Sudan, 2009), Zhong Lin (China, 2010), Van Man Man (China, 2011). 

In 1991 a preparatory division for foreign citizens was established at the Academy, and in 1995 – the Department of Russian as a Foreign Language. Teachers from the preparatory division of this department teach foreign students the Ukrainian or Russian languages and liberal arts in the chosen specialty for one year. The department educates future architects, engineers, economists, ecologists, sculptors, artists, managers, medics, etc. Over the last 16 years, more than 1000 foreign citizens from more than 80 countries (China, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Kingdom of Morocco, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Algerian People’s Democratic Republic, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Republic of Cyprus, the State of Israel, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, etc.) have learned here Ukrainian and Russian.
