Study in Ukraine

Beautiful landscapes, unique castles, national parks, and hot springs make Ukraine a treasure of a location. Even with all the ingredients that make a destination overrun with tourists, Ukraine remains one of the secrets of the world and does not draw very many travelers to its country.

It’s still wild at it’s core, with 14% of the land occupied by forests, making this country one of the most wooded in Europe. Whether you want to go trekking in the Carpathian Mountain ranges, kayaking down Dniester through beautiful castle scenery, soak in a medicinal mud bath, or simply relax on the Crimea beaches, Ukraine undoubtedly has everything an adventurous study abroad student could possibly want.
