An interesting peculiarity of our education is an individual approach to the lecturer’s student. One student from Cameroon have come to us recently and told with admiration that all the lecturers knew their students by name. While having studies in Cameroon, a lecturer there was providing lectures before no less than hundreds of students and didn’t contact with each student. Here a lecturer works with a group of 30 students and knows everybody by name. He may pay attention to everybody and explain smth in individual way to a student if smth is not clear both during and after the lecture. Besides cost for education and life in Ukraine is still lower than in European Union or America. Also it is necessary to take into consideration that it is easier to obtain an educational visa to Ukraine than to EU and America’s countries. As a result you have an opportunity to obtain education of high quality for comparatively low cost in a beautiful and democratic European country.
