The purpose of the master’s thesis is to develop proposals for deepening Ukrainian-Chinese cooperation of the Lviv Polytechnic and other universities, firms, scientific institutions of China. And it is also necessary to achieve a strategic indicator of development, which is the net income of the university. The strategic indicator of Lviv Polytechnic University is total income, which as a result of the implementation of management measures should increase by 0,49% compared to 2022 or by UAH 7600 thousand. Among the important directions of increasing the total income of Lviv Polytechnic University by deepening cooperation between Ukrainian and Chinese higher educational institutions are: ? Expanding revenue streams through the provision of educational services to Chinese students has proven to be a significant contributor. The rising number of Chinese students enrolling in the university signifies a steady source of income, resulting in financial stability. ? Diversifying the income sources by providing professional consulting and scientific services to companies from China has played a pivotal role in enhancing the university’s financial position. These services have not only generated additional revenue but have also strengthened the institution’s global reputation and partnerships. ? Engaging in joint educational and scientific grants or projects has further augmented the university’s income. Collaborative efforts with international partners, particularly from China, have opened new avenues for funding and resource sharing, fostering financial growth. China is one of the promising directions of the Lviv Polytechnic for the construction of innovative and technological cooperation, as well as the construction of innovative ecosystems. Development of cooperation between Ukraine and China through the signing of an agreement between Lviv Polytechnic University and Universities from China, will allow expanding cooperation between universities in the field of providing educational services (increasing the mobility of teachers and students), deepening scientific cooperation (increasing the number of scientific and educational grants won) will increase the strategic indicator of Lviv Polytechnic University - total income by 0,49% compared to 2022 or by UAH 7600 thousand.
