International Applicants Karazin University

Dear young friends — future chemists!

We are sincerely happy that you are really interested in chemistry, one of the oldest and most interesting sciences! Modern chemistry is, first of all, a profound knowledge about the structure of substances and their properties. Thanks to the practical use of this knowledge, chemistry has given mankind new structural and building materials, fabrics for modern clothing, effective medicines, paints, mineral fertilizers and chemical plant protection products, fuel for engines, detergents, miniature chemical current sources, and many other extremely useful things indispensable for modern humans.

The School of Chemistry of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University will give you a unique opportunity to acquire fundamental knowledge in chemistry and its practical application for the benefit of mankind. The basis of our uniqueness is a high level of the faculty members, advanced achievements in science, wide implementation of scientific achievements in the educational process, the use of innovative teaching methods, cooperation with research institutes and universities in Ukraine, America, and Europe, a high level of material and technical base. Thanks to these components, you will receive a really high-quality education of world class and will master the profession of the XXI century — the profession of a chemist!

Young friends, we sincerely wish you to become students of our glorious University!
