Academic mobility provides students with the opportunity to study, intern and conduct research in another institution of higher education or a scientific institution in the territory of Ukraine or abroad. Academic mobility differs from traditional foreign internships, first of all, in that during studies in academic mobility projects, students study fully, not only study the language and individual disciplines, but also complete a full semester or year course, which is credited to them after returning to the basic Higher education institutions.
Academic mobility is one of the priority directions of KPI named after Igor Sikorsky with the aim of deepening the internationalization and integration of applicants into the Ukrainian and international educational and scientific space, improving the quality of education and the effectiveness of scientific research, as well as ensuring the competitiveness of specialists in the market of educational services.
