On 12 August 2015, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved Resolution No. 579 "On Approval of Regulation on the Procedure for Exercising the Academic Mobility Right".
Key aspects of the new regulation include the right to participate in academic mobility programmes to all participants of the educational process; clear determination of types and forms of academic mobility; the entrenchment of the credits transfer principle in accordance of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), in particular through the comparison of training module content rather than titles of courses; preservation of the studying seat and continued payment of the educational grant for students and the job for academic staff participating in the academic mobility programmes.
The procedure followed by all participants of the educational process in terms of academic mobility is an important step in the implementation of the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education" and creation of an effective tool for Ukrainian higher education institutions to become international.
