In June 2024, two students of the Automobile Faculty of the Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University (KhNAHU), Hanna Hnatova and Nikonenko Oleksandr leaded by prof Andrii Hnatov, successfully completed their studies under the Double Diploma program and have been awarded by Double Diploma (DD) of Master Degree of Engineering Science in Electrical Science at RTU and of Master Degree of Science in Electrical Engineering at KhNAHU. This DD program was developed by Riga Technical University (RTU) and KhNAHU as part of the implementation of the Erasmus+ project “CybPhys”*.

We sincerely congratulate our first graduates on the successful completion of this program and the receipt of master’s degrees from RTU and KhNAHU! This experience emphasized the importance of international cooperation between universities and harmonization of educational programs, providing the market with highly qualified specialists in electrical engineering, trained on modern equipment and the material and technical base of two leading universities of Ukraine and Latvia.

After their graduation Hanna and Oleksandr expressed their feelings: “We went through training, got great experience, it was difficult, but interesting and useful. We have gained invaluable knowledge and skills that will definitely come in handy in our professional activities. We are grateful for such a wonderful opportunity that allowed us to study at two leading universities and expand our horizons. The joint program opened up new perspectives for us and gave us the opportunity to get acquainted with international standards of higher education. We would like to express my special gratitude to RTU professor Nadezhda Kunicina, for her care and support throughout my studies”.

In the current ERASMUS+ DIGITRANS project, it is planned to sign two Double Diploma agreements between European and Ukrainian and Moldavian universities. A new agreement between RTU and KhNAHU on the development of DD program for bachelor students and also the agreement between RTU and the Technical University of Moldova on the development of DD program for master students.
