Campus Physical Accessibility
Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts consistently develops a barrier-free educational environment, implementing solutions aimed at ensuring accessibility for individuals with special educational needs. The entrance to the main building features a low threshold, making access easier. An elevator is available for moving between floors, and navigation in designated areas is enhanced with informational signs in Braille. The main building also includes an adapted restroom tailored for people with reduced mobility.
The university continues to modernize its infrastructure in line with the principles of barrier-free access, universal design, and inclusivity, gradually expanding comfortable access to educational and administrative spaces for all members of our academic community.
Digital Accessibility
Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts ensures full access to educational and informational resources through modern digital technologies. The learning process is supported by an E-Learning Platform powered by Moodle, which provides students with 24/7 access to study materials, assignments, online courses, and communication tools with instructors, regardless of their location.
The University Science Library provides users with free access to electronic information resources, digital services, and scientific databases necessary for academic, research, and creative activities. Students and staff can access the electronic catalog, digital library services, and other informational resources both on-site at the library and remotely (subject to the access terms of specific resources).
Advancing digital accessibility remains one of the university’s core priorities, aimed at creating equal opportunities for education, knowledge, and academic resources for everyone involved in the educational process.
