EERC Alumni

General

Kyiv School of Economics is a continuation of EERC Master's Program in Economics.

After earning their master’s degree, EERC alumni are well prepared to work as economists in policymaking institutions and the private sector, or to continue their education at PhD, or MBA programs in Western Europe and North America.

EERC graduates already work as economists and analysts with the international banks, consulting companies, government structures, research, and policymaking institutions. Graduates pursue an academic career and are enrolled in prestigious Ph.D., or MBA programs in Western Europe and North America. Each graduate continuing studies abroad has received either a full or a very substantial scholarship from the admitting university to support his/her studies.

The program graduates represent a precious bank of human resources, and have special strengths:

  • Strong analytical, research and modelling skills
  • Western-standard and internationally recognized economic education
  • Ability to work under stress and manage time well
  • Interpersonal, communications and networking skills
  • Strong computer skills
  • Excellent knowledge of English and other languages
  • Open-minded modern worldview

You may find the individual profiles of EERC graduates of each class on the left and see statistics below.
