International student mobility for short- and long-term language study in China and Japan is not only an important aspect of Department concerns but also an invigorating stimulus for students’ professional training.

Students have an opportunity to enlarge their cultural competences participating in extracurricular activities as members of student club “Dialogue of cultures: East-West”. In 2014 our student Yana Oliyarnick, the participant of this club, became the prize winner in Japanese Translation Competition of T. Shevchencko’s poems.

We are proud of our outstanding alumni Anna Sedova and Nadezda Kirnosova who have successfully defended their doctoral theses at leading Chinese universities, Juriy Skulditsky, who works at the Ukrainian Embassy in Japan, and Cyril Yaroshik, employed by Japanese Embassy in Ukraine.

The students of Oriental Department obtain today one of the most prestigious and globally demanded profession.
