Europe, North America, and other parts of the world. Several Western-trained
economists from Ukraine and neighboring countries teach in the program as
visiting professors as well.
Admission to the program is based on merit and is open to the applicants who
meet the basic eligibility requirements:
a.. Specialist's or bachelor's degree by the time of entrance
