The aggravation phase is extremely sensitive to the national economy, state processes, and social security issues. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe.

   At the current stage of development, the university staff has chosen a successful behavior tactic. Interdepartmental laboratories have been created on the basis of separate structural divisions. This makes it possible to bring the provision of educational services closer to applicants for education.

   The story described the work of the University department of pedagogy, in particular training on specialty "Professional education".

    Education in the training program of this specialty opens up a wide range of opportunities for professional growth. A unique opportunity to acquire socionomic and bionomic professions was noted. The importance of training specialists in this specialty was emphasized. Inviting everyone to study, Ruslan Vasylyovych I noted that the educational program has passed two state accreditations. There are favorable conditions for applicants for education, because out of 50 licensed places, 35 will study under state order. Since the university has contracts with 50 universities, students can study in parallel at partner universities. Some attention was paid to employment opportunities.
   Ruslan Vasylyovych he spoke warmly about outstanding graduates of the NULES of Ukraine, including many officials, people's deputies, two of them headed the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, some were heads of ministries. In particular, Stanislav Mykolayovych Nikolaenko was the head of the Ministry of education of Ukraine, and today – the rector of NULES of Ukraine and is recognized as one of the most successful heads of universities.
