Education

The Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) offers three internationally recognized graduate level programs:

One-Year MA Program in Business Economics
Two-Year MA Program in Economic Analysis
Two-Year MA Program in Financial Economics.

These programs share a number of basic principles: their curricula are based on what is taught at leading international universities, they are taught in English and they are taught by a combination of international and Western-trained faculty who have strong backgrounds in teaching and research, and outstanding practitioners.  The education based on these principles provides the opportunity to KSE students to get top jobs in business, academia and international organizations and to get top level salaries:Our alumni surveys show our students earn 50 percent more than what they would have earned if they would not have studied at KSE.

The focus of the programs are different however, with the one year MA in Business Economics focusing on careers in business, while the two year programs in Financial Economics and Economic Analysis focus on careers in academia, policy and international organizations.

In partnership with the University of Houston (top 25 in US), the Kyiv School of Economics also offers the students of its two year program an opportunity to obtain, while studying at KSE, a Master's degree of the University of Houston. Courses taken to receive the KSE certificate simultaneously lead to an MA degree in Economics of the University of Houston if the student meets the academic and administrative requirements of the University of Houston. A similar agreement for the one year program is currently being negotiated.

Note that the MA degree of the University of Houston can be (and has been) officially nostrified in Ukraine.

Detailed information on each of the three MA programs, as well as their admission requirements can be found in the relevant sections of this website.
