The First Bachelor Programme Graduates Awarded with the Diploma from Two Universities!

July 18, 2024

The double-diploma programme of two universities - the National University of Ostroh Academy and the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn - allows students to obtain a bachelor's degree in two universities. Participation in the programme opens the door to studying the conditions of two states and - accordingly - two cultures, education systems, diversity in approaches to understanding national and global problems, and various aspects of international relations during our difficult times. The programme aims to increase graduates' competitiveness in the labour market and expand their professional opportunities. The first graduates of the programme this year obtained diplomas in international relations in Ukraine and will soon receive diplomas in political science in Poland.

«The first days at the University of Warmia and Mazury were exciting, but at the same time stressful. Cultural and language differences complicated the learning process in the first weeks. Still, thanks to the support of teachers and students of the partner university, the adaptation went quickly. From the beginning of the study, we felt the friendly attitude of the host university towards us. The teachers were open to discussions, which contributed to the growth of interest in the subjects and, occasionally, to a better learning of the foreign language. New acquaintances, new impressions of another culture, trips, and interesting educational experiences left unforgettable memories. The double degree programme provides academic knowledge and personal and professional growth. The experience of participating in the programme became a unique opportunity for me to deepen my knowledge, improve my language skills and discover new cultural horizons for myself.»,

«Life in Poland was full of new experiences. The experience of participating in the programme became a unique opportunity for me to deepen my knowledge, improve my language skills and discover new cultural horizons for myself." New friends, exciting trips inside Poland and other countries, and invaluable experiences will stay with me for the rest of my life. This programme has become a real breakthrough for students who seek to obtain diplomas from two universities simultaneously, gain international experience, and acquire new opportunities for career growth. The programme became an adventure that broadened my horizons and opportunities to develop new skills.»,

Graduates of the programme express their special thanks to Prof. Dr Gab. Tereza Astramowicz-Leyk, Prof. Dr Sc. in History Alla Atamanenko, Prof. Dr Gab. Arkadiusz Zukowski, Prof. Dr Gab. Marcin Chetminiak, PhD in History Nataliia Konopka, Dr Gab. Pawel Pietnoczka, for the opportunity to implement the programme. 

The double-diploma programme with the University of Warmia and Mazury was also implemented in 2024-2025. Cooperation continues and will develop in the future.
