Kyiv School of Economics is the first educational institution in Ukraine which provides free access to Coursera with an ability to receive a world university certificate. We don’t limit our students in a choice of courses even if they differ from the chosen programme curriculum. The number of courses and university participants for one course is not limited. Programme coordinators help the student in accurately gauging the preparation level and curriculum to select the course, start and successfully complete it. 

Kyiv School of Economics offers a system of student co-livings. These are rented multi room comfortable flats in Kyiv: in convenient areas, near the metro stations  with good conditions for joint student households. Here students live 2-4 persons in a room, study together, prepare for the exams, projects and classes. Students pay for the accommodation.  

The estimated cost of living is worth $200 monthly (as of 2021 year). The accommodation discounts for bachelor students are not stipulated.

For now Kyiv School of Economics doesn’t have its own Military Department. But according to the students’ demand we will try to meet this need. We’re planning to organize the study at the Military Department through the partnership with other  higher educational institutions.

Since the second year, students take part in 2-month summer training in leading companies, including KSE partners. Not only students get personal contacts, but they also get acquainted with particular business processes of different companies. It allows them to apply their knowledge, and also provides quick adaptation and employment after graduation. We assist in choosing the most appropriate place for an internship. At the end of the study students work on their projects (diploma work) which can become a start-up.

We don’t expel because of unsatisfactory grades (only if there are a lot of such grades). If the students get unsatisfactory grades, they can attend the discipline once more and pass required exams. However, we expel for cheating after 2 cases. The first one is a warning. We are convinced that knowledge should be gained fairly and properly, as this helps students to nurture self-organization and responsibility for their own decisions and competence.

At the Kyiv school of economics, students gain knowledge offline. We understand the value of live communication and make everything so that the study process takes place on campus. At the moment for comfortable and safe studying, the programs are adapted to the mixed format (online + offline).
