They acquire not only comprehensive military expertise but also essential skills in leadership, discipline, resilience, and teamwork. “This is more than a military career; it is a path of honor, courage, and service to the nation,” said Major Serhii Baranov, Secretary of the Institute's Admissions Committee.

The Institute trains future officers in the following specialties:
