General Information about the Program

The DSG2neo program is a joint initiative of the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” (Ukraine) and Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (Germany) to provide educational support to graduates of Ukrainian schools who were forced to leave Ukraine and are currently residing in Germany with official status.

Considering the specifics of the German education system, graduates of Ukrainian schools cannot directly enroll in German universities immediately after finishing school in Ukraine. The developed program allows for a gradual adaptation to the conditions of studying at a German university, while saving both time and extra costs. Moreover, thanks to the harmonization of curricula between NTU “KhPI” and OVGU in selected majors, a student simultaneously studies the full academic content offered by both universities and gains the right to obtain a diploma from each side of the program.

You can find a more detailed description of theDSG2neo program, current contacts of coordinators, and admission requirements on the official program page on the NTU “KhPI” website.
