Feedback From Program Graduates

Illustration

Thanks to my studies at KSE, I was able to complete a successful internship at the NBU, where I applied the models I had learned just three months earlier. And now, as an economist at the NBU's Financial Stability Department, I apply this knowledge on a daily basis

From the very first days at my new job, the KSE community helped me adapt. As it turned out, there are already two KSE alumni working in my department

My first job in IT was very easy for me, as I was immediately recommended as a strong analyst and was treated with great trust as a successful graduate of the Kyiv School of Economics. Later on, the knowledge of data analysis and financial analysis, as well as the high presentation and communication skills I acquired at KSE, came in handy
