The Palace of Students

The Palace of Students is a powerful center of culture at NTU “KhPI”. Its main direction is to involve students, postgraduates, and university staff in artistic creativity and to hold various cultural events.

Creative collectives of various genres work at the Palace of Students, 8 of which have the honorary title of “People’s Artistic Collective of Ukraine”. The basis for their work is primarily the folklore of various regions of Ukraine and Europe. The Palace of Students attaches great importance to promoting the achievements of culture in our Slobozhanshchyna region.
The collectives of the Palace of Students actively participate in various city, regional, all-Ukrainian, and international competitions, festivals, perform at metro stations, and the bomb shelter of NTU “KhPI”.

Dear Polytechnicians! We invite you, in 2024, despite the war, to join our artistic collectives, which work for you for free.
