Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman

Masters of Business Administration – MBA

KNEU offers a full-time English language MBA program for students with an undergraduate degree in economics or a business related field.  This 18-month program provides coursework and internship experience in the essential areas of business administration needed for function at a high level.  Students may select an emphasis that deepens their knowledge of global business or entrepreneurship.  There is an optional two-week seminar held during the summer that takes students to California to study  aspects of the US economy.  Because instruction and coursework is entirely in English, students must possess advanced language capabilities and be ready to improve further their communication skills in English.   
The learning outcomes of the MBA Degree program are the same as those applied to the recently revised and the current MBA program upon which it is based.  Upon completion of the MBA program, students will be able to:

1)    demonstrate effective business skills through their ability to use tools from such areas as statistics, accounting, and economics at an advanced level.
2)    demonstrate application of functional business knowledge by the use of critical thinking skills to solve business problems within business disciplines such as finance, marketing, operations management, and global business to solve business problems.
3)    communicate effectively using the language of business and that of educated public discourse.
4)    work effectively in teams, taking a leadership role where appropriate.
