1 Academic Work
Maintenance of educational process at all stages - from admission of applicants to the number of graduates - is one of the main tasks of the department. Applicants who come to study in the "KPI", have high scores IEE (Independent external evaluation) among the applicants. For example, in 2013 the average scores IEE students enrolled in the 1st year, amounted to 179 - in math and 155 - in physics, which corresponds to the level of the previous years.
However, the assessment of students' knowledge level of compliance with the requirements of the University, carried out on the results of entrance control in basic disciplines, shows that almost half of first-year students have the knowledge on the level below mediocre. This situation makes the teachers of mathematics and physics to intensify work to during the first semesters not only to ensure the mastery of the students educational material in accordance with the programs of academic disciplines, but also bring them to a level sufficient to master the professional disciplines.
The constant search for new and more effective methods of teaching and painstaking work have yielded positive results. By the end of the first semester physics and mathematics students reach undergraduate level. And for the last 3 years the assimilation of students of educational material from year to year is improving. This is confirmed by the results of the rector's control, held at the IV course, according to which the level of residual knowledge of students is 65%.
In recent years there has been stability in the number of the student body of the University, which is 20-22 thousand full-time students, of which more than 12% on a contract basis with payment of tuition fees.
The number of foreign students in the past three years has remained at 350, which represent 36 countries. However, while a significant increase in the number of students of the preparatory department gives hope to increase the number of foreigners who will choose in the future our university for higher education.
A high level of quality requirements for knowledge "KPI" increases the number of those who are trying to get a quality education, a high level of training and intellectual development and to be very competitive in the labor market. Being a successful student is becoming fashionable!
A good sign is that most of the students, about 70%, has successfully passed the session in time and demonstrates high achievement. This year, the number of A students on the results of the winter session up 8.1%. Students receiving rated "excellent" and "good," 30.6%, and those who are learning to mixed assess- 54.7%. The number of those who got "satisfactorily" results is 6.6%. (See. Diagram).
Dynamics of successful passing of the session by the students of foreign nationality has its own characteristics. An increase in the number of both students who are studying "satisfactorily" (15.4%) and mixed assessment (62.4%), and the number of A students (5.9%). The overall level of academic achievement among foreigners is high and corresponds to the achievement of Ukrainian students.
Data on expulsions of students by courses indicate that most students (almost 65% of the total number of dropouts), we lose the first two years. A significant amount of dropouts in the fifth year - 88 people, is the consequence of increasing the number of students entering the "KPI" on V course from other universities and in the learning process they can not withstand the high demands of our university. Every year students recovery of almost 25% of the number of expelled students, more than 80% of which are renewed the contract with payment of tuition fees.
Analysis of the effectiveness of the educational process at the University on the basis of certification, and examinations shows that 48% of students meet the highest criteria for assessing the quality of the knowledge acquired and in the future they may become highly qualified specialists. Achieving such high achievements made possible by the participation of students in international and Ukrainian competitions, sports competitions and creative competitions. More than 75% of the students in the learning cycle attached to the creative activities carried out both at the university and beyond.
Significant not only "internal" evaluation of the university for their own performance, but also its place in the system of higher education. There are independent educational ratings, which attracted the attention of the public. One of the most authoritative rating of universities in Ukraine is rating of "Compass" on which analyzes the activities of the university on numerous criteria. The first criterion - student satisfaction by the level of education. The greatest satisfaction with the level of education students demonstrate University named after Shevchenko, who rated their level of nearly 100 points, that is the maximum. Our graduates are "put down" his modest scores at 80, however, the most objectively assess the quality of training of graduates, employers, who note the level of training of our graduates as the best in Ukraine and the fifth consecutive year, appoint us a perfect score of 100. Similarly, according to the "compass" we are assessed by independent experts. Indicators of the closest to us in the ranking of universities significantly worse, even though the classic is a university or a Polytechnic. With such high external objective assessments, KPI within five years of the rating of "Compass" is the undisputed leader in the first position. (See. Diagram).
2 Academic Mobility

Students IESEM, FICT, FL, FCT, FMM and FE showed high activity in the desire to get a higher education abroad and successfully passed the selection. Pleased to note that students FCE, FBB and FHPI also joined the programs of academic mobility in 2013.. Total number of students KPI, studying abroad, by the end of 2013, 192 people, and for the year grew by 2.5 times due to the participation of the KPI in five EU programs ERASMUS MUNDUS.
