International Economic Relations

Since 1972, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv has been providing specialist training in the field of International Economic Relations. Beginning in 2025, this training is conducted within the framework of the academic specialty C1 «Economics and International Economic Relations».

The primary goal of training specialists in the field of international economic relations is to provide students with a solid foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the development of the global economy, international trade in goods and services, international capital flows, labor mobility, intellectual property, and international finance. A distinctive feature of the bachelor's and master's degree programs in international economic relations is the integration of both macroeconomic and microeconomic levels of international economic cooperation. This approach enables graduates to acquire comprehensive competencies - both knowledge and skills - in the sphere of economic relations among various countries, significantly enhancing their employment prospects. Students also gain professional proficiency in two foreign languages (English as the primary language, and a second language chosen from German, French, Spanish, Arabic, or Chinese).

The core academic instruction for this specialty is provided by two departments: the Department of World Economy and International Economic Relations (the degree-awarding department), headed by Doctor of Economics, Professor Oleksandr Shnyrkov, who also leads the Jean Monnet Department; and the Department of International Finance, headed by Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor Vasyl Namoniuk.
