The Bundestag simplified process of recognition of foreign diplomas

Now to the students who have received diplomas of the engineer or the doctor in Ukraine, it is simpler to find a job in Germany in the specialty.

Representatives of German parliament passed the law which simplifies procedure of recognition of diplomas of the students who were trained in Ukraine. The main advantage of new procedure is that it should become uniform for all Germany.

Also the certificate confirming recognition of qualification will act on all territory of the country, received in Ukraine.

Still in different parts of Germany the rules operated, and certificates and diplomas admitted depending on regulations of each of them.

Now even procedure of consideration of the demand about recognition of qualification will be reduced about three months. The passed law contains the list of five hundred professions on which this procedure will extend.

By estimates of the government of Germany, the new law can «facilitate life» to about 300 thousand foreigners, including and owners of the Ukrainian diplomas.

Today in the country live about two million foreigners having vocational professional or higher education. However with not all from them work on the specialty.

Representatives of business in Germany also welcome simplification of procedure of recognition of diplomas, pointing to shortage of the qualified labor.

From personal experience

Vishal Ratnakar, theoretical physicist (India-Ukraine)
I graduated from Kharkiv State University in 1991. The Kharkiv School of Theoretical Physics was known throughout the world. Now I work as a consulting engineer at an international company. My knowledge of the Ukrainian mentality and the skills of gripping any subject quickly, which I acquired at the university, have proven very helpful in my current job. The only recommendation I have for my countrymen who are going to come to Ukraine to study is that you must learn, first and foremost, that the front passenger seat in a car here is on the right side. The rest is easy to learn.

Firsthand

Wu Li, Manager (China-Ukraine)
This year I have graduated from a higher educational institution in Kyiv and obtained a diploma. Currently, I am an intern at an international travel company operating in Ukraine. In the future, I plan to manage the business of a Chinese company in Ukraine’s market. I have the necessary knowledge for this, and cooperation between our two countries is on the rise. Besides, I have many good friends here. I would like to warn my compatriots who want to come to Ukraine that winters here are the same as in the northern provinces of China. So, do not forget warm clothes. But it is much warmer in the houses.

Not from hearsay

Olga Nemirovskaya, future lawyer (Russia-Ukraine)
Two years ago I decided to enter an educational institution in Kyiv and now I am here, studying. First, it is cheaper than in Moscow. Second, I have relatives and friends here who can support me. And third, I looked for new impressions, new places, and new discoveries. Kyiv proved the right choice for me. It combinesbeauty, antiquity, and the rapid rhythm of life typical of other big cities! I would like to say to my countrymen who are contemplating study in Ukraine that I study here in Russian and communicate in Russian as well. As for Ukrainian, it is a friendly and understandable language. I can already speak it a little. It’s cool!
