Every February, the Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding opens its doors to prospective students to help young, talented, and ambitious individuals find their rightful place in the vast ocean of professions.

This year, the Open House at Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding took the form of a virtual journey through the ocean of education, with stops for viewers at ports bearing symbolic names such as “Achievements,” “Faculties and Institutes,” “Our Partners,” “Admissions Campaign,” and “Questions and Answers.”

 

The event began with opening remarks by Yevhen Trushlyakov, Rector of the Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding, Doctor of Technical Sciences and Professor, as well as an introductory address by Taras Kremen, Ukraine’s Language Ombudsman, Candidate of Philological Sciences and Associate Professor. This was followed by a series of informational sessions.

The "Our Partners" section attracted the most attention from the guests, and this was where the group spent the most time. In this informational segment, the event organizers revealed to everyone the institutions and faculties with which the university collaborates, the companies where the university places its students after graduation, and introduced attendees in person to employers who were happy to participate in the Open House.

It was a pleasure to chat with representatives from a variety of companies and organizations and receive overwhelmingly positive feedback about our graduates, including:

• Ihor Lysytskyi, Vice President of the Ukrainian Maritime Cluster;
• Maksym Artomenko, Lead Software Developer at ArtPort LLC;
• Yuriy Maksimov, Senior Project Manager at C-Job Mykolaiv;
• Valentyna Dyachuk, principal of Mykolaiv Gymnasium No. 50 named after Hanna Divina;
• Marina Kobak, Head of the Department of Court Proceedings and Analytical and Statistical Work at the Mykolaiv District Administrative Court;
• Yulia Pochebut, Head of the Communications Department at DTEK Odessa Power Grids;
• Anastasia Prokofieva, press secretary for Mykolaivoblenergo;
• Olena Zhukova, head of the Mykolaiv-based design and engineering bureau "MDEM."

Of course, during the information session, prospective students learned how easy and straightforward it is to become students, and had the opportunity to speak with the program directors of all the educational programs offered by the university and outline their career prospects in light of the needs of the global job market.

The entire faculty and staff of the Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding are confident that all 11th-grade students will undoubtedly make the right choice, will certainly become experts in their fields, and will fulfill their potential in life—both for themselves and for Ukraine!
