The magnificent city of Kiev is waiting for you on the banks of the River Dniepr for an amazing journey to the very cradle of the Russian civilisation.
More about study in Kiev
Though it went through dark periods, the town still looks strong and proud. Past and present merge harmoniously: the Byzantine period, the legacy of the Orthodox Church, the Soviet era, the Reconstruction and then the Westernization... Styles and periods are perfectly blended in the Ukrainian capital. On Kiev’s hills, myriads of surprisingly well-preserved historical and religious monuments still dominate the town whereas the modern town centre is filled with skyscrapers, restaurants, shops and night clubs. Add to that a particularly warm-hearted population and an exceptional natural environment (more than 430 springs, two botanical gardens and countless parks in the very heart of the city) and you will get this town with marked contrasts and oozing exotic charm that inspired so many writers and poets. Kiev, a town where theatre, art and history have a prominent place, is also a remarkable showcase for Russian culture.
So make the most of your language trip to Kiev, and discover the soul of a Slavic nation!
