Happy New Academic Year!

Dear higher education graduates, happy new academic year!

You have become one step closer to your dream – to give health to people and save lives. Ahead – new knowledge, discoveries, achievements and vivid impressions!

The beginning of the academic year is always a special time for first-year students.

I am sincerely glad to welcome you to the many-thousand-strong family of Odesa National Medical University, which has been growing for 125 years!

You are beginning your medical journey at a difficult time for Ukraine. The war changed the lives of each of us, but despite all the trials, you have made an important and responsible choice – to devote yourself to medicine, to serving people, their lives and health. Your decision to choose our university is a testament to your faith in the future, in the victory and revival of our country.

I wish all applicants, from freshmen to interns, that this year will be a year of success, hard work and creative inspiration for you! Strength to you, encouragement and confidence in every step!

May your studies bring you pleasure, student life will be filled with joy, friendship and interesting events, the knowledge gained within the walls of ONMedU will become your reliable tool in your future life, and your hearts will always be filled with love for people and your native land.

With best wishes,
ONMedU Rector Academician Valeriy Zaporozhan
