As experience showed it is difficult for the foreign students to join fully the educational process without language knowledge and the adaptation period. That is why, in 1992 preparatory faculty of the National University of Pharmacy was created. Nowadays the preparatory faculty of the University is one of the largest not only in Kharkiv, but also in Ukraine.

Every year students from new countries come to study at the University. The lecturers help the foreign citizens to come through the period of adaptation to the new conditions of life and training in Ukraine, to learn Ukrainian language. Besides the language of speciality, the students of the preparatory faculty study Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics and other subjects necessary for the further study at any higher educational institute of Ukraine. New modern classrooms and lecture halls of the preparatory faculty are situated near the hostels where students live.

Students live in 5 hostels, which are situated near the university buildings. The administration of the University managed to make standard rooms into the comfortable rooms that correspond to all European demands.
