The experience of students attending UBTS is far removed from typical undergraduate education in the United States. Each UBTS degree or certificate program enrolls a cohort group of students who attend classes together in L’viv for one week and then return home to continue their studies and field work for five weeks. They continue this back-and-forth cycle from September to the following May.

Through the significant disruption of the COVID pandemic and the devastation of Russia’s war on Ukraine, students have continued to pursue their studies. More than 1,300 students are enrolled for the 2024-25 academic year.

In these videos, two UBTS students explain why they chose to study at UBTS and their hopes for the future. 

 

The Live Sound Musical Movement is an initiative of the UBTS Department of Worship & Music. The program recently sponsored a Christian songwriting contest that received 130 entries from 45 locations. The winning song writer, Vitaliy Linevych, says, “God gave me the song … the Lord uses it to humble my heart and to remind me again and again that the Gospel is not about me, or my faithfulness, or my power – but about Him, about His immutability and power, about His steadfastness and faithfulness.”

Watch Vitaliy perform his song.
