"FLCHE" ("Arrow") Considering the importance and topicality of the international activity, the new tactics and strategy of the international cooperation were developed in mid - 90s by the Academy administration which was called "FLCHE" ("Arrow") Project. The essence of the project presupposes advanced study of the French language (8 hours per week) and teaching a great number of special courses in French, starting from the first year. Other foreign languages students study are English and German. The project has the intention of vocational training of Ukrainian and foreign students from French-speaking countries. The idea of using foreign languages as a teaching tool proved to be instrumental in the following international projects: The French-Ukrainian project at speciality "Industrial and Civil Engineering". This project has existed since 1998. Its aim is professional training of Frenchspeaking Ukrainian citizens, as well as foreign students with secondary education. The distinctive feature of the project is teaching French using up-todate communication methods and teaching most technical subjects in French from the first year of study;

The English-Ukrainian project was created at the Faculty of Mechanics, speciality Applied Materials in 2001 supported by the TEMPUS programme grant in the amount of 500 000 Euro for 2005-2008;

In 2003 the work on the project Creating the French branch in Architecture started. This project was financed by the EU in amount of 500 000 Euros over 3 years (2003-2006). The first group of students taught in French were enrolled in 2005;

The first students taught in English at the speciality "International Economy" were enrolled in 2005; The grant from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France was received for working out Master programme on Industrial and Civil Engineering speciality together with Lyon Institute of Applied Sciences.
