The Kyiv School of Economics traces its origins back to an English-language master’s program in economics, which was established in 1996 by the Economic Education and Research Consortium (EERC) and the Eurasia Foundation charity. In 2006, the master’s program evolved into a separate educational institution known as the Kyiv School of Economics. Within a year, the quality of the master’s program in economic analysis was accredited by the University of Houston, which considers the School its foreign campus.
The university offers modern education and provides market-relevant academic programs: 8 bachelor’s and 6 master’s programs. Instruction is conducted in offline mode and in English. From the second year onwards, students undergo internships in top companies and public sector institutions. Additionally, students have the opportunity to study abroad and obtain diplomas from foreign universities. Apart from the university, the Kyiv School of Economics includes:
- The Business School, which offers an MBA program along with various corporate programs and startup development projects.
- The KSE Institute – an analytical center specializing in analytics, consulting, research, and the development of strategies and recommendations to support a strong and innovative economy in Ukraine. The institution closely collaborates with government bodies and international organizations.
- The KSE Foundation – was established in 2007 as an educational charity fund. After the large-scale Russian invasion, it expanded its activities to provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians, contribute to infrastructure reconstruction, and equip school shelters.
