Studying at the Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University allowed to get a deep knowledge in International Finance. However, the biggest problem is the lack of practically oriented knowledge.
Good university

I personally think this is the best if not one of the best universities in the country. Very important aspect of studying is that tutors and professors encourage to learn and find out more information about the subjects.
