description

Kryvyi Rih National University began its scientific and educational activities 100 years ago and is closely linked to the Kryvyi Rih iron ore basin and the training of qualified mining engineers. Today, the university is primarily characterised by high-quality education, experienced academicians, robust methodological support, a developed student government, successful students and graduates who are in demand as qualified specialists. Kryvyi Rih National University prepares highly educated professionals, and its graduates hold responsible positions in government and local self-government bodies, enterprises, and educational institutions. The university is accredited at the IV level of accreditation. It holds a license to conduct educational activities under the new list for 23 specialities across 12 fields of knowledge, providing higher education at the Bachelor's and Master's levels, including second higher education in all accredited specialities. Training is carried out in the economic, natural sciences, construction, mining, mechanical, electrical, information technology, and transportation fields of science. Considering the labour market's demand, the university constantly adjusts its curricula and programs. These changes aim to improve students' preparation for their future professional activities. Combining education with scientific activity is a distinctive feature of education at the university. Priority areas of scientific research include the development of energy and resource-saving technologies for the extraction and processing of mining raw materials, environmental protection and occupational safety, increasing the level of mechanization and automation of technological processes, quality management of mining enterprises' products, economic development of enterprises in various industries, modern technologies of metallurgical production, inspection, certification, and reconstruction of industrial buildings.

Experience in the implementation of educational projects aimed at young people

The university youth demonstrates an active civic stance, establishing fruitful cooperation with public and governmental organisations. Their activities significantly contribute to society's development and the support of those in need. They are the members of the Kryvyi Rih cluster of the SD platform, youth council members under the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration, the Ukrainian Student League and the Ukrainian Association of Students. Their active participation in various forums, round tables, and meetings promotes the exchange of ideas, the generation of new concepts, and the shaping of the future student movement in the country. Of particular note is the cooperation of students with the international organisation UNICEF. Within the framework of the innovative UPSHIFT program, our students successfully implement important social projects: "Water for Everyone," aimed at ensuring access to clean water, and "TEP – Energy Efficiency among Youth," which promotes awareness and the adoption of energy-saving practices among the younger generation. Kryvyi Rih National University is a participant in Erasmus+ projects. In particular, the following projects have been successfully implemented: CYBPHYS "Development of practically-oriented student-centred education in the field of cyber-physical systems modelling." Considering the project results, curricula were updated, and new ones developed, which contributed to the successful accreditation of the educational program "Automation and Computer-Integrated Technologies." UTTERLY "Teacher Certification Centres: Innovative Approaches to Teaching Excellence." The project implementation resulted in introducing courses for the professional development and personal growth of teachers, developed by the project participants. The university continues its work on the implementation of Erasmus+ projects: SMART-PL aimed to implement a personalised learning model based on the virtual learning environment Intellectual Tutoring "Learning with No Limits." MOVEx seeks to organise a Virtual Exchange Program as a professional and intercultural interaction platform to provide high-quality educational services. Greedi-EU aims to enhance cooperation and communication among all academic participants, employers, civil society organisations, and authorities to equip teaching staff with skills related to digitalisation and industrial transformation in the context of European integration.
