The Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (MAUP) was founded in 1989 as a private higher educational and scientific institution. MAUP is the largest economic and humanitarian higher educational institution in Ukraine. Students from 39 countries study here in 27 specialties. MAUP took first place in the most influential academic ranking of higher education institutions in Ukraine "Top-200 Ukraine 2023" among private higher educational institutions in Ukraine and is included in the World Higher Education Database, which is controlled by the International Association of Universities with the support of UNESCO.

MAUP helps students and graduates use their education not only for themselves but also for society as a whole. The Academy enables students, graduates, and teachers to reflect on how their research, knowledge, and lives will benefit society and humanity, and provides them with support and resources to do so. MAUP strives not only to provide its students with the highest level of education but also to inspire them to seek truth in all its manifestations.

Education at MAUP involves not only the acquisition of knowledge but also the development of analytical skills, critical thinking, and the ability to express one's ideas. It instills in our students self-confidence and the ability to defend their point of view based on facts and arguments, and also points to the inherent importance of open dialogue and the pursuit of truth in the process of understanding the world and self-development.

The Dnipro Institute of PJSC "HEI "MAUP" periodically holds Open Days and offers a convenient blended learning format. The Academy hospitably welcomes all those wishing to get acquainted more closely with the educational institution and its available material, technical, scientific, and methodological base. On this day, applicants and their parents can personally communicate with teachers, methodologists, and the Academy's management, and ask them about admission conditions and study requirements. The doors of MAUP are always open for those who want to know themselves, change their lives for the better, are looking for themselves and their lost path, strive to express themselves truly, and gain education of the future, - noted Yelyzaveta Kravtsova.

The realization of the rights of convicts to education plays an important role in the process of their correction. Obtaining higher education by convicts is one of the most effective ways of their resocialization and reduction of recidivism, and contributes to increasing competitiveness in the labor market. The educational process enables convicts to gain positive experience, moral qualities, knowledge, skills and abilities that contribute to their development, correction and normal life in a specific society, as well as work on neutralizing their negative character traits, eradicating criminogenic needs, - emphasized Eduard Abashiya, the department psychologist.
