The graduation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine servicemen who were trained in the foreign language courses at the retraining and improving qualification centre, was held at the University.

The language training of officers and employees of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was carried out by the scientific and pedagogical staff of the Foreign Languages Education and Research Centre, lasted for four months. During this time, students had the opportunity to improve their English language skills in order to further participate in the activities of international military cooperation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO, participation in international peacekeeping operations, in the multinational military administration, and to effectively develop cooperation with the armed forces of partner countries.

- The end of the course is just the beginning of a long and rather difficult path of learning a foreign language. After all, a foreign language, in particular English, is NATO's number one standard, and every officer in the modern Ukrainian army must be fluent in it. Moreover, learning English radically changes our mentality, helping us to look at the challenges of the Ukraine's path to NATO. So, do not stop there, develop for the benefit of yourself and the state! - Major General Serhiy Salkutsan, Deputy Commandant of the University for Academic Affairs, addressed the graduates of foreign language courses.
