Viadrina is setting up a Remote Law Campus for law students at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy

In future, Ukrainian students will be able to study law at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (NaUKMA) on the campus of the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder). From September 2026, the ‘Remote Law Campus’ will offer up to 25 students a safe environment in which to commence their four-year law degree. During several in-person sessions each semester, lecturers from NaUKMA will then deliver seminars and lectures on the Viadrina campus. In addition, the Ukrainian students will take advantage of course programmes offered by Viadrina. The Brandenburg Ministry of Science, Research and Culture is providing around 44,000 euros for the first pilot phase of the project.
