The first university-wide Open House of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, KPI AbitFest, took place on December 13.
As is tradition, it was organized by the Department of Academic and Educational Affairs. Across five floors of the H.I. Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library, booths were set up for all faculties and research institutes, where prospective students could obtain useful information about them, as well as about educational programs and majors, the specifics of studying at KPI, opportunities for personal and professional development, and learn about future employment prospects. Additionally, booths for preparatory courses and the University Admissions Committee were organized.
KPI AbitFest was opened by Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Tetiana Zhelyaskova. She emphasized that during the admissions campaign, sincere and open communication with applicants and their parents, accessible information, and professional support in choosing a major and educational program are particularly important. In closing, the Vice Rector wished the event participants confidence in their abilities, interesting discoveries, inspiration, and a successful start to their student life at KPI, filled with new opportunities and achievements.
Representatives of the university administration and the Student Council delivered presentations to the attendees. Yulianna Sergeeva, Chair of the FMM Student Council, Career Development Center specialist, and student, dedicated her speech to the topic “Your Future University.” Serhii Murakhovskyi, Executive Secretary of the Admissions Committee at Igor Sikorsky KPI, spoke about the main prospects for admission to Igor Sikorsky KPI in 2026. "Time Management for Prospective Students: how to plan your preparation correctly“—this was the topic of the presentation by Anastasia Kostenko, a student of the Faculty of Chemical Technology, while Svyatoslav Shesterov, Chair of the Student Council at Igor Sikorsky KPI, shared advice with visitors on the topic ”Life without burnout: how to balance studies, work, and activism." After the presentations, the speakers answered numerous questions in the library lobby.
Over 500 young people who attended the Open House on December 13 engaged with university representatives with great interest. Additionally, to get a closer look at the institutes and faculties of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute and learn more about next year’s admission requirements, a group of students from the Tetiiv community—who are friends and supporters of Kyiv Polytechnic—also attended KPIAbitFest.
Finally, the organizers of KPI AbitFest expressed their hope that most of the visitors will become Polytechnic students as early as next summer.
