"We have laid down the National Multi-Subject Test for higher education based on complete general secondary education for all specialties (budget places), for business and medical specialties (in particular, for a contract)," Shkarlet said during an online briefing on Friday.

According to him, the national multi-subject test is a general test in the Ukrainian language, mathematics, history of Ukraine. There will be three grades for this test, which will be announced immediately after the end of the test.

In addition, both main and special and additional examination sessions will be provided.

The minister said that in 2022 the role of motivation letters has increased significantly.

In particular, upon admission to the budget, such a letter will be used for rating applicants with the same competitive score, and upon admission to a contract, a motivation letter can be the basis for rating applicants.

When entering institutions of higher education on the basis of a junior specialist, it is necessary: ​​either two subject assessments of the 2019-2021 external independent testing or a national multi-subject test.

The new changes also provide for a master's comprehensive test (foreign language and law) for admission to a master's program in the specialties "law" and "international law," as well as a master's test of educational competence for admission to a master's program in certain specialties.

In particular, when applying for a master's program on the basis of a bachelor's degree, it is necessary: ​​ for cadets – the current rules for admission; on the specialty "law" and "international law" – master's comprehensive test; in the specialties 05, 06, 07, 28, 29 (except "international law") - a master's test of educational competence and an exam in a specialty in an educational institution; other specialties – an exam in the specialty in an educational institution for budget places and a motivation letter for contract places.

"We have set security and defense as the main priority. There will be maximum assistance in the recruitment of cadets in military and law enforcement institutions," Shkarlet said.

It also provides for the involvement of military personnel, volunteers of the Territorial Defense Forces, rescuers and law enforcement officers.
