For 12 years our department has been providing master students with the opportunity to obtain double French and Ukrainian diplomas within the programme of double French-Ukrainian diploma with the University of Cote d’Azur, Nice, France (https://univ-cotedazur.fr/). Every year 2, 3 or even 5 students get financed by the French side and go to the University of Cote d’Azur for a year of studies (the second year of the master’s scientific programme) where they study, take an internship in companies, prepare their master thesis, and defend it in both universities. Teaching is conducted in English. Due to the high grades of our students (usually top 10%) they are invited to postgraduate education in France. They also easily find positions in companies so about 40 our graduates now happily live and work in France. Many of them are PhDs now.

One more programme of double diplomas is with Italy, the University of L’Aquila (https://www.univaq.it/en). Master students go to this university for the first year of studies.

There also are many Erasmus+ inter-university agreements that offer academic mobility to students of all levels from bachelor to postgraduate and to teachers for training or lecturing. The most popular of them are studies at the University of Nicolaus Copernicus, Torun, Poland (https://www.univaq.it/en) and the University of Murcia, Spain (https://www.um.es/). During the last several years the bachelor, master and postgraduate students studied at these universities during one semester and got acquainted with the education, culture and traditions of these European countries. Some members of teaching staff visited these universities for expertise exchange, delivering lectures, scientific cooperation, etc.
