According to the Head of the International Relations Office Daria Minchenko, since 2023, the University of Seville has been regularly accepting applicants and postgraduate students of the NU “OLA” for academic mobility programs, which opens up new opportunities for development, raises the international status of the NU “OLA” and creates prospects for further participation in European educational and scientific programs.
Participation of representatives of the NU “OLA in the internship program contributes to the expansion of international cooperation, establishment of new professional contacts and study of the best European practices in the field of higher education. International cooperation is an important step towards the integration of the National University “Odesa Law Academy” into the European educational space and a confirmation of the high level of training of the scientific and pedagogical staff of our university.
