“The Day of the future student”
On April 24, 2019, “The Day of the future student” was held at the Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology. The event took place within the framework of the project “From School Program to High Technologies” with the support of the Scientific-Methodological Education Management Center of the Department of Humanitarian Policy at Dnipro City Council.
During the academic year, on the basis of our University, the leading professors and associate professors of the University conducted a course of seminars on topical problems of the present and possible ways of their solution for the teachers of mathematics in the city of Dnipro. This day more than 150 teachers have solemnly received certificates of professional advancement.
Schoolchildren who visited “The Day of the Future Student” attended the Fair of Specialties, where they learned about the existing and demanded specialties, talked with leading lecturers of the departments and were able to get an answer to the actual questions: “What will we study?” and “Where can we work after graduation?”

On interactive master classes, the pupils were able to get acquainted with the specialties of our University and to be personally engaged into some laboratory workshops. So, at the Faculty of Technology of Inorganic Substances, the students themselves determined the quality of water and learned about the modern methods of its purification.
