We require a Диплом спеціаліста (Specialist Diploma), a Dyplom Bakalavra (bachelor’s degree) if awarded post-2008 or a Dyplom Magistra (Диплом магістра master's degree) pre-2006. Ukrainian master’s degrees awarded post-2006 are considered comparable to British master's degree standard.

During the Soviet era academic achievement was measured on a 5-point scale (1-5) with 5 being the highest mark and 3 being the minimum pass mark. Since 2000 some institutions have been using a 12-point knowledge assessment scale with 12 being the highest mark.
