Ukrainian applicants who are abroad due to the war will be able to take the national multi-subject test (NMT) in 2026 not only in Ukraine, but also in a number of foreign countries. This will allow graduates to retain the opportunity to enter Ukrainian universities, even if they are temporarily residing outside the country.

Testing abroad has been made possible thanks to cooperation between the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Centre for Educational Quality Assessment, regional assessment centres, diplomatic institutions and educational organisations in various countries around the world. Thanks to these agreements, special examination centres are being set up where participants will be able to take the test in conditions as close as possible to those in Ukraine.
