A Historic Milestone for AUK: Our First Cohort of Bachelors Successfully Defends Their Capstone Projects!

Behind these results lies a journey defined by sleepless nights, countless cups of coffee, intellectual drive, and an overwhelming sense of pride. For the American University Kyiv, this is more than just a graduation — it is a landmark moment as we celebrate the first-ever Bachelor’s capstone defenses in our university’s history.

Our students did more than just meet the mark; they raised it to the highest level. All 18 graduates from our Global Management and Business Administration programs navigated this academic milestone brilliantly. Despite the online format, the atmosphere was incredibly charged and filled with profound professional insight.

The results speak for themselves, with the vast majority of our students earning top marks of A–/A.

Yuriy Bots, PhD, Dean of the School of Management, emphasized,

"These Capstone Projects are a powerful testament to our students' ability to not only master complex theoretical foundations but to apply them strategically to real-world challenges. This first cohort of AUK bachelors embodies the innovative spirit and practical leadership skills that we strive to instill in our students, preparing them to make significant changes in Ukraine and beyond."

Congratulations to the first cohort of AUK bachelors! You are truly exceptional, and we know for certain: the best is yet to come!
