Ukraine to Launch Basic Military Training for University Students Beginning September 1, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

This<\/span> was reported<\/span><\/a> in “We are Ukraine”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Basic military training will be compulsory for male students, while female students will have the option to participate voluntarily.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eligible participants include 18-year-old male students in good health who are enrolled in full-time or dual education programs. This primarily applies to students in their second year of study who entered university after completing secondary education, as well as first-year students who continued their education after college as junior specialists or junior bachelors.<\/p>\n

According to current legislation, students unfit for military service due to health reasons or those who have already completed military service are exempt from the program.<\/p>\n

The basic military training program will be implemented in two stages.<\/strong>
The first stage \u2014 theoretical training \u2014 will cover 13 key topics.<\/p>\n

“Refusal to participate in the \u2018Theoretical Training of Basic Military Training\u2019 by those for whom it is mandatory, or receiving a failing grade on the final assessment, is grounds for expulsion under Paragraphs 4 or 5, Part One, Article 46 of the Law of Ukraine ‘On Higher Education’,”<\/em> the Ministry of Education stated.<\/p>\n

The second stage \u2014 practical training \u2014 will focus on weapons handling, terrain navigation, personal safety in combat conditions, and more.<\/p>\n

Upon completion of the program, students will take the military oath and officially become subject to military service. However, conscription will be deferred until they reach the age of 25.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Iryna Vereshchuk stated that a new system of national resistance is beginning to take shape in Ukraine,<\/a> involving not only the armed forces but also the entire civilian population.<\/p>\n

By the way, the Minister of Education and Science, Oksen Lisovyi, reported that in 2025,\u00a0about 75-80 thousand students of Ukrainian universities will undergo basic military training.<\/a><\/p>\n
