At a meeting on Tuesday, April 2, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted changes to the way bachelor's students cross the state border. MP Oleksiy Honcharenko wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
According to him, from now on, bachelor students aged 18 to 22 who study at universities in Ukraine will be able to go abroad for internships. We are talking about masters of medicine, pharmacy and veterinary medicine.
Since the beginning of martial law in Ukraine, the rules for crossing the border have changed. In particular, we are talking about conscript men aged 18 to 60, who are not allowed to leave Ukraine.
However, the position of the State Border Guard Service regarding the departure of male students remains unchanged. This is because the Cabinet of Ministers' Resolution No. 57 of January 27, 1995, prohibits the departure of undergraduate and graduate students, interns, and doctoral students of both foreign and Ukrainian universities, and such students or graduate students are not allowed to travel abroad.

At a meeting on Tuesday, April 2, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine changed the rules for bachelor's students to cross the state border. This was reported on the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
According to the source, these are students under the age of 22 who are not subject to conscription.
However, they will be able to leave for no more than a semester.
Bachelors must study full-time in Ukrainian higher education institutions of state or municipal ownership. The student must also have a bachelor's or master's degree in medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine. They must be a participant in academic mobility programs at foreign institutions.
As noted by the Ministry of Education, certain documents are required to cross the border.
Documents required to cross the border:
- student's e-ticket;
- referral from the university;
- a certified copy of the agreement with a foreign university on admission to the academic mobility program;
- a military reference document from the TCC.
The Ministry of Education and Science will not issue any special permits.
"This decision will contribute to Ukraine's integration into the European higher education area, restore the opportunity for all students to participate in academic mobility programs, which will allow them to gain new knowledge and experience," the ministry said.
Now this rule will be changed.
