More about the Faculty »

The Faculty provides a complete cycle of training and re-training of international relations experts, researchers and teachers: bachelors, masters, PhDs and ScDs in Economics. The research and educational/methodological support to the teaching process at nine departments of the Faculty is provided by 174 lecturers, including 18 ScDs, 20 professors, 57 associate professors and 62 PhDs.

There are two computer classes with Internet access on the Faculty, making it possible to implement remote forms of learning within the scope of joint international programmes. Modern language laboratories provide proper conditions for learning foreign languages. The fundamental humanitarian and general economics training underlies a system of the professional knowledge of bachelors via professional disciplines, such as International Economic Law, International Organisations, International Marketing, International Trade, International Finance, International Investment Activities, Accounting in Foreign Countries, International Economic Analysis, International Economic Activities of Ukraine, etc. The study of the suite of core and selective disciplines ensures the training of bachelors capable of performing the practical functions of a specialist in foreign trade and investment activities, foreign exchange and accounting/analysis operations.

The graduated bachelors continue their studies on a competitive basis on the Master programmes:

The internship and fluency in two foreign languages are an obligatory element of the training of international economy and management faculty specialists.

At the Bachelor level, students of the Faculty can study in parallel under one-year and two-year programmes at Napier University (Edinburg, UK), the International Professional University of Paris and Lyon (France), a specialised higher education establishment in Konstanz (Germany), etc.

The system of education, under which partner universities determine and provide credits for exams and tests in disciplines studied by students in their respective universities, is based upon cooperation agreements with these universities. This recognition of credits provides actual conditions for the obtainment of two bachelor diplomas by students after the 4th year of study.

The Faculty keeps an eye on issues related to the future job placement of graduates. Major places of employment include state regulators, domestic enterprises with large-scale foreign-trade activities, companies with foreign investments, branches of foreign industrial and trade corporations, large Ukrainian and foreign banks, investment funds and foreign and domestic companies, international audit firms, etc.

In addition, some graduates work in teams implementing projects of international organisations in Ukraine (teams of the IMF, the World Bank, the European Union, etc.), work as advisors and assistants to high-ranking officials of the Government, the Parliament, the Administration of the President of Ukraine, and other state institutions.

In a relatively short time, graduates successfully make a professional career and become part of Ukraine's young economic and political elite. Many graduates manage large domestic and international companies as CEOs or top managers.

Departments of the Faculty train PhDs and ScDs in the World Economy and International Economic Relations speciality. Since 2004, the International Economic Policy scientific magazine has been published. It is disseminated on paper and in electronic form among almost all leading universities worldwide.

The fundamental nature of the scientific research pursued by researchers of the Faculty, and the recognition of their merits at the domestic and international levels support the claim that a scientific school of research into international economic integration, competitiveness and globalisation has developed here. It was founded by professors D.H. Lukyanenko, A.M. Poruchnyk, O.M. Mozgovy, B.V. Hubsky, T.M. Tsyhankova, Y.H. Panchenko, V.I. Chuzhykov, et al.

The Faculty trained hundreds of highly qualified specialists in the field of the international economy over the relatively short period of its existence. The practice demonstrates that the demand for such specialists keeps growing.
