Solemn graduation of masters

Karazin University celebrates the graduation of masters from the School of Medicine, School of Physics, School of Chemistry, School of Mathematics and Informatics, the Institute of Computer Physics and Energy, the Institute of International Education, the School of Physics and Technology and the Karazin Business School.

The event was held offline with an online broadcast on the university's YouTube channel.

The Rector of the University Tetyana Kaganovska delivered a welcoming speech: "Now we are all becoming co-authors of the history of our glorious university, which continues to move forward despite the horrors of war. Unfortunately, you have had to endure a pandemic and then a war. But anything that is hard won is always very much appreciated. I am sure that you are strong, purposeful, clearly know your goal, and do not allow the enemy to break your future. It is you that the country is counting on, you who are going to work and help Kharkiv region and Ukraine. I am also grateful to the international students who believed in Karazin University and stayed with us, even in the difficult times of war. Our strength, steadfastness and unity give us confidence that we will definitely win and rebuild our country. Glory to Ukraine!"

Iryna Haryachevska, Director of the Education and Research Institute of Computer Physics and Energy, was also invited to speak: "Today you are no longer students. You are losing this title. But I congratulate you on this from the bottom of my heart. After all, being a student is temporary. Now you are graduates of Karazin University, and this is forever.

Each of you understands that the most important thing in life is life itself, the life of an ordinary person. You have gained excellent knowledge: each of you in your own field, specialty, a powerful set of competencies. I am confident that you will make our country better every day. Each of you will change Ukraine in your own way. You are our future!"

Mykyta Kucherov, Chairman of the Student Council of the University, also congratulated the graduates: "As our founder Vasyl Karazin used to say: "When I am healthy, when I am sick, and when I am on the edge of the grave, I will look for a little bit of good that depends on me." And I believe that you have managed and fulfilled this instruction of the university founder to the fullest. I wish you a bright path, and the Karazin family will always be by your side. Congratulations, best graduates".

At the end of the ceremony, the graduates were awarded for their excellent studies, outstanding achievements in research and active participation in public life.
