According to the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education”, Article 6 Certification of Higher Education Applicants:
Certification is the establishment of the compliance of the results of studies (scientific or creative work) of higher education applicants with the requirements of the educational program.
Certification of persons obtaining a bachelor’s or master’s degree is carried out by an examination commission, which may include representatives of employers and their associations, in accordance with the regulation on the examination commission, approved by the academic council of the higher education institution (scientific institution).
A higher education institution, based on the decision of the examination commission, awards a person who has successfully completed an educational program at a certain level of higher education, the corresponding higher education degree and assigns the corresponding qualification.
