Stories of student consultants of the IIR Admissions Committee

The application process for admission to the School of International Relations is still ongoing, and in the meantime, we would like to share with you the stories of the student consultants of our Admissions Committee - people who meet each applicant with a warm smile and answer numerous questions from applicants. 

‘Admission is an event that causes excitement for hundreds of applicants and parents. We, as consultants, make sure that they pass this very first stage of the meeting with the Institute of International Relations easily and without worries!’ - says the main consultant Alina Grechko, 4th year student of the International Economic Relations programme. 

‘I became a consultant because that's how I help applicants make their admission as comfortable as possible,’ recalls Kateryna Sereda, a 2nd year student of International Regional Studies. 

‘My main motivation was to help applicants adapt to a new stage in their lives and minimise the stress of admission, as future studies should bring only positive emotions,’ says Kristina Steshenko, a 2nd year student of the International Law programme. 

‘I decided to become a consultant to the Admissions Committee because I am inspired by the enthusiasm with which applicants and their parents come every year, it really gives me hope for our future,’ says Yulia Denysenko, a 4th year student of International Communications. 

‘Every day, when I answered calls or told people personally about the institute and the specialities, it reminded me why I chose the Institute of International Relations at the time. When the admission period began, I took the baton of ‘being a student’ to a new level, probably to help everyone who wants to enter our institute,’ says Dmytro Fialkovskyi, 2nd year student of the International Regional Studies programme. 

Congratulations to all applicants who have entered the Institute! Thank you for choosing us!
