What makes KSE different?
KSE faculty include experienced Western and Western-trained professors with Ph.D. degrees from abroad (Wisconsin, Michigan State, Maryland, Virginia, Stony Brook, Kentucky, Free University of Brussels, etc.)

KSE is a western (international) education based in Kyiv:
English language is the working language at the school

To test and prepare yourself before going to study abroad

74 of our graduates already got their Ph.D. Many study abroad
