In 1999, the Ukrainian Humanitarian Institute opened its doors to 30 students on the territory of the former pioneer camp. Young people wanted to study in Adventist educational institutions, even though they were not state-accredited.
Years later, the Institute was certified for training bachelor’s degree holders. The number of students has increased tenfold. And in 2011, the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary in Ukraine was opened on the territory of the educational institution. The educational complex of the Ukrainian Humanities Institute and the Theological Seminary was named the Ukrainian Adventist Center for Higher Education (UACE). The life of the students of the Ukrainian Adventist Center for Higher Education is filled with various events and ministries. While on campus, young people can realize their opportunities and potential in missionary service, social projects, city events, as well as in singing, art, design, sports – in any field that is interesting to young people. There are Bible study clubs and a literary evangelism club called Blagovisnyk. Of course, the main focus is on the quality of students’ education. Qualified teachers, a large library collection, and free access to the Internet allow students to master a huge flow of modern information, gain the necessary scientific knowledge and practical skills. The company regularly holds scientific and practical conferences, which are open to everyone. The UACVO has opportunities for both active and passive recreation. In early 2012, a new gym was opened, which has no analogues among Ukrainian universities. It hosts football, volleyball and basketball training and competitions, as well as fitness for girls. Every holiday is a bright event on campus. Students organize music concerts, recitals, carnivals, and celebrations in honor of various events. The life of the students of the Ukrainian Association of Catholic Universities is full of variety and rhythm. New ideas and projects for implementation are always born here. Anyone can become a part of this life by entering the Ukrainian Adventist Center for Higher Education!
