UniRank University Ranking has published its new 2025 ranking, and we are proud to announce that “KROK” University has climbed even higher—we are now in 40th place among all higher education institutions in Ukraine! And among private universities, we are in 2nd place – this is a significant result that we can be proud of.

These are not just numbers – this is recognition of our activity, our media presence, and the work of the entire team. After all, “KROK” University is about a modern approach, the ability to speak to young people in a language they understand, bold decisions, and systematic work in the information space. We are showing that a Ukrainian private university can be influential, visible, and interesting. Our websites, social networks, and information campaigns all contribute to an image that is recognized both in Ukraine and abroad.

We sincerely thank everyone who puts their energy into developing our online image every day, from our website to every post on social media.

On May 22–25, 2025, the Career Festival, one of the largest exhibitions dedicated to the professional development of young people and the search for new career opportunities, took place in Kyiv at the Expocenter of Ukraine (VDNH) National Complex. Among dozens of Ukrainian and international companies, educational institutions, and public organizations, the Educational and Scientific Institute of International Education of “KROK” University presented the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) international mobility program.

The program provides future entrepreneurs from Ukraine with the opportunity to intern with experienced businesspeople in the European Union, gaining invaluable business experience, expanding their professional contacts, and laying the foundation for their own businesses.

During the festival, visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the conditions for participating in the program, submit an application for participation, and talk to the Project Coordinators, who have already professionally implemented more than 20 mobility programs.

Meet the KROK’s Mascot, KROKSI.

The coolest ideas come after the phrase, “What if...”. This idea came to Alina Holtseva, Director of the Student Affairs Department, who was supported in this project by Nataliia Tytarenko, Director of the Advertising and Public Relations Department, and the University Administration, which allowed the idea of creating a mascot to be brought to life.

His name is KROKSI, he is friendly, always smiling, and loves hugs! We are confident that the creation of this fluffy character will not only lift spirits and attract attention, but also make our University even more recognizable on social media, and the University Student Council and the Department of Student Affairs will make every effort to create interesting and vibrant content about student life at the University!

Stickers, shopping bags, and University merchandise featuring our hero are a separate series of branded items that students and others dream of! So we are developing these products, which can be obtained by participating in events organized by the Department of Student Affairs and the University Student Council.​​​​​​​

From March 31 to April 31, 2025, “KROK” University implemented the most ambitious course within the Erasmus+ ArtNoConflict project!

Throughout April, the Erasmus+ virtual exchange project team “The Art of Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (Mediation) / ArtNoConflict” held a course that brought together over 700 participants from Ukraine, Lithuania, Georgia, the Netherlands, and other countries!

Of course, this would not have been possible without the partner teams:

• Karazin Business School
• Netherlands Business Academy
• Mykolas Romeris University
•  Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University
• NGO “Ukrainian Youth Councils Association”
• NGO “Youth For The World Non-Entrepreneurial”

It was a powerful example of intercultural cooperation and innovation in education. Participants not only gained theoretical knowledge, but also had the opportunity to apply their knowledge in intercultural groups: they solved case studies and developed leadership, critical thinking, and effective communication skills.

We would like to thank everyone for their motivation, interest, activity, and very constructive feedback!

Most of the students successfully completed the course and received certificates!

The Project Coordinators at “KROK” University were Andriі Lotarіev and Maryna Skalatska.

The trainers were Inna Dolianovska and Nataliia Kalinina.

The facilitators were Andriі Lotarіev, Maryna Skalatska, and Inna Dolianovska.
