Feedback on Studying at KSE

Illustration

Danylo Yaruchyk

Student of the Economic Analysis program

While studying at the Economic Analysis programme at the Kyiv School of Economics, I highly appreciate the unique combination of economics and mathematics that provides practical skills for work.

The university is distinguished by its progressive approach to education: young teachers, an understanding of the role of artificial intelligence in modern education, and a strong English-language component.

It's not just about learning - it's a path to European integration through education and values

Illustration

Ilya Polityka

Student of the Psychology program

Before joining KSE, I thought that only old professors could teach psychology. But as it turned out, learning can be interactive and practical!

We, as leading specialists, are taught not only clinical
but also in scientific and social areas.

I feel that my studies will really correlate with success in the future

Illustration

Anastasia Ruzayeva

Student of the Psychology program

KSE is a dream university in Ukraine. People come here for development, ambition, and the desire to change the country and society for the better.

I have not regretted for a single day that I made the choice to enter this university and this particular study programme.

Do you want to study? Enrol, and the university will do the rest: excellent learning conditions, interesting courses, incredible teachers and a huge number of opportunities for students

Illustration

Anastasia Smyk

Student of the Law program

The best thing about KSE is the feeling that you are part of something bigger.

Here, every student is not just a number on a list, but a person with their own ideas and aspirations.

The faculty and administration are always open to dialogue, ready to support your initiatives and help you implement the most daring projects.

Law at KSE is a community of ambitious minds that combines the perfect balance between academic education and practical skills. It is about working on real cases from the first year of study, which creates a professional portfolio before graduation

Illustration

Bohdan Malchev

Student of the Law program

Studying at KSE is about constantly growing beyond yourself, challenging yourself.

Your ambitions will be nurtured and sheltered here, and your desire to create new things will be met with an interested eye.

It will be hard, but it's really worth it, isn't it?

Illustration

Yakov Baiduk

Student of the Applied Mathematics program

At the Kyiv School of Economics, everything is as I was warned: something is constantly moving and changing here.

Because of this, something new always appears, and the old is always improved.

In general, this is a huge plus for me, but for someone else it can be a disadvantage

Agata Apshai

Student of the program Software Engineering and Business Analysis

Kyiv School of Economics is a place where you want to be.

Teachers inspire you to think outside the box, and the university adapts to students.

Plus, internships at top companies open the door to a career

Ksenia Kravchenko

Student of the program Software Engineering and Business Analysis

At the Kyiv School of Economics, I am studying to become a software engineer and business analyst.

Unlike other higher education institutions, the University is distinguished by high moral values and progressive educational approaches: academic integrity, lectures with leading professionals from various fields, so any student can find their own path

Illustration

Dmytro Bugay

Student of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles program

Kyiv School of Economics has allowed us to take a fresh look at the higher education system. It is modern, innovative, student-friendly.

The student is responsible for the vast majority of learning, and the university's task is to give impetus, knowledge and opportunities.

I think I got much more than I expected.

Practitioners, developers and representatives of leading companies share their practical experience at various meetings and lectures

Illustration

Tetiana Povshyk

Student of the Artificial Intelligence program

When I first heard about this university, I thought how cool it would be to study IT and that I could get a grant for this study.

Now I realise that the most valuable thing here is the people.

Absolutely different, beautiful in their own way, very smart, very frank.

The Kyiv School of Economics is about the possibility of new acquaintances, and I am grateful for this, because I have never met such a concentration of worthy people anywhere else

Illustration

Lisa Sholomova

Student of the Business Economics program

Studying at KSE is fundamentally different from other universities, because everything is transparent and liberally organised: students are equal participants in the educational process along with teachers.

The educational process itself is extremely modern - a lot of authentic materials in English, highly motivated specialists and comfortable classrooms.

I am fascinated by the opportunity to choose disciplines from the first year, which gives students responsibility for their own educational path from the very beginning.

The programme in business economics opens up opportunities to try yourself in different areas and better define your own interests

Illustration

Anastasia Perunova

Student of the Business Economics program

In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of studying at the Kyiv School of Economics is building the mindset of a successful person.

Here we not only develop industry knowledge, but also improve as individuals. Everyone tries out new roles.

Here I am a team player, and here I am a leader.

I am surrounded by motivated people who are burning with new ideas, and the university helps to implement them

Illustration

Oleg Bondar

Student of the Economics and Big Data program

I catch myself thinking that KSE is not only about the university, it is about a lifestyle.

A lot of friends, constant movement, lots of opportunities.

I'm living my best life right now.

Illustration

Ivan Hromovyi

Student of the Economics and Big Data program

I have learnt one thing during this time - no matter what programme you study, you are part of the Kyiv School of Economics community.

I studied at the Business Economics programme and then switched to Economics and Big Data, but the people around me changed my life forever, because there are opportunities for everyone here

Illustration

Sofia Dyadchenko

Student of the Business Economics program

What is studying at KSE?

For me, it is a constant way out of my comfort zone.

It is development and attempts.

It is about international opportunities and volunteering.

It is a little sleep and a lot of vivid impressions, an ambitious community, professional teachers with incredible experience and a desire to move forward

Illustration

Diana Ivchenko

Student of the Business Economics program

My dream was to have an international education, but to stay in Ukraine.

The values, benefits and opportunities provided by Kyiv School of Economics were a direct hit to my heart.

As a business economics student, at the beginning of my 1st year, I immediately felt that this programme was a perfect fit for my aspirations to develop in a global context.

The course combines a high level of academic preparation with practical skills, which allows graduates to be competitive in the global labour market.

KSE actively supports start-ups, entrepreneurial initiatives and offers students the opportunity to participate in international projects that provide invaluable experience

Illustration

Andriy Guzenko

Student of the Business Economics program

By studying Business Economics, I clearly see that I am getting the basis for development in a wide range of areas and specialisations.

After the bachelor's degree, my colleagues will be able to become anyone - from financiers or data analysts to investors or business owners - and that's cool because

KSE gives you the opportunity to try yourself in many areas.

Even for me, as a person who has already chosen my field of study, it is interesting to delve into other areas with new subjects and events and have a ‘Helicopter view’ of economics and business

Illustration

Tetyana Kirilyuk

Student of the Economics and Big Data program

For me, KSE is about quality education, exceptional opportunities and a proactive community.

It is only here that after classes, where teachers are experts with years of experience in their field and a wealth of knowledge, students rush to internships at leading companies and opening lectures with the NBU Governor, the Swedish Ambassador and other invited guests, and then gather with like-minded people in debate, volunteer and other clubs.

We are always in full swing and encourage critical thinking and unconventional views and approaches. The future of Ukraine is being created here

Студент програми Економіка і великі дані

There are no graduates in this speciality - only Spartans and Jimi Neutrons.

In the 2 years I've been studying here, I've learnt a lot:
- Programming in 3 languages
- Data analytics skills
- Powerful software skill
- Mathematical base
- Ability to think

It's scary to imagine what I will be able to do in 2 more years:]

EBA is a golden mean between theory and practice, here you will have balanced soft and hard skills + you will have time for work and extracurricular activities

Anna Myslytska

Student of the Economics and Big Data program

My impressions of the Economics and Big Data programme are only positive.

Being in my final year of the programme, I am fully aware of its relevance both in the field of economics and in the field of data analysis and machine learning.

Due to its interdisciplinarity, the speciality opens up many opportunities for professional and career development, which I have already experienced during my internships during the programme.

The quality of teaching and content is of the highest quality.

During my studies, I was also lucky enough to participate in exchange programmes with Bocconi University and the Cambridge Summer School, during which I personally saw that the quality of education at KSE is as high as abroad.
