As reported by Kherson National Technical University, she received a diploma from the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and a badge.

On January 13, it became known that Viktoriia Hranovska would temporarily act as the rector of Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University, replacing Yurii Kyrylov, who was dismissed early. Granovska was appointed to this position by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Previously, she served as vice rector of KhSAEU.

In December last year, the Ministry of Education and Science prematurely terminated the contract with the rector of Kherson State Agrarian and Economic University, Yuriy Kyrylov. The corresponding order was signed by Education Minister Oksen Lisovyi, and as of December 30, 2024, Kirillov officially ceased to lead the educational institution.

Earlier, the State Education Quality Service of Ukraine published the results of the assessment of higher education institutions for the 2024/2025 academic year by the degree of risk in the field of economic activity. The list includes five universities in the Kherson region. Kherson State University received an average risk level with 25 points, while KhSAEEU has a low risk level with 20 points.

Kherson universities were also included in the annual ranking of higher education institutions in Ukraine.
