The full-scale war in Ukraine has significantly altered students’ educational trajectories, forcing many to continue their studies abroad while facing digital, organizational, and psychosocial barriers. This study addresses the challenge of maintaining accessibility and quality of higher education under conditions of high mobility, instability, and emotional stress. Its purpose is to identify key obstacles to studying abroad during wartime and to assess the effectiveness of adaptive mechanisms implemented by Ukrainian universities. The research applies content analysis of academic sources and statistical and comparative analysis using data from the United Nations Development Programme and Ukrainian educational analytics. The findings indicate that flexible educational pathways, supported by digital competencies, organizational agility, and psychosocial assistance, contribute to the stability of students’ learning trajectories. Despite a decline in the number of universities, student enrollment remains relatively stable, indicating structural adjustment rather than system degradation. Although displaced students experience greater psychological and communicative challenges, flexible schedules, blended learning, and digital technologies are associated with reduced dropout rates and improved academic outcomes.
