Student Stories
Dmytro Pylypchuk
Master of Global Management

AUK gave me a unique opportunity to meet new people, extremely well-prepared, with experience in various areas. My Program, Master of Global Management, provides a variety of different and useful subjects, like Global Security Systems, Marketing, Countries and Markets, and Global Leadership. These programs are structured professionally, are up-to-date and make you think out of the box. Lectures are usually very dynamic, full of energy and interaction between students and the lecturer. The education process is a combination of online lectures and offline on campus. Both are very well structured and of course, lecturers navigate the process in a very suitable form and way.  This is absolutely a different way of education in comparison with Ukrainian universities. I found education at AUK extremely useful for my career paths and for my further career development. Especially when it comes to professional effectiveness or global leadership and personal development, these objects have been applied by myself during my day-to-day work. It is always a great pleasure to use in practice absolutely a new portion of valuable expertise and knowledge which you got to know recently. To add more, guest speakers and guest lecturers are just magnificent. I can confirm from my side that I have never seen such a number of famous and well known subject matter experts visiting a university on regular basis, both online and in person. I highly encourage to enroll to AUK because this is education that gives freedom. I can assure from my own experience.

Kseniia Piskun
Master of Software Engineering

My educational journey in the field of IT began with the decision to enroll in the Master of Software Engineering program at AUK. This decision was a key step in my professional development, and I can confidently say that the education here has far exceeded my expectations. The program offers a unique opportunity to combine deep theoretical knowledge with practical experience, which is extremely important for a successful career in IT. One of the most valuable aspects of studying at AUK is its international perspective and focus on innovation. Faculty are world-class professionals who not only share their expertise but also inspire students to achieve new heights. AUK opened doors to new opportunities for me, including an internship in the USA. I interned as a Software Engineer at Casey’s in Ankeny, Iowa state. This experience allowed me not only to apply the knowledge I had gained in practice but also to immerse myself in the culture and business environment of the USA. As a woman in IT, I feel a special responsibility to break stereotypes and encourage other girls not to be afraid to enter this field. Here, I have met many talented women who, like me, strive to change the world through technology. Thanks to this experience, I am now working at Eleks as a software engineer, developing mobile applications for iOS. I want my example to inspire other girls to choose a path in IT – a field where you can not only find yourself but also make a significant contribution to the development of technology. AUK is a place where knowledge truly gives freedom, and I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this unique educational community.

Oksana Tkachuk
MS of Global Management at AUK & MS of Leadership in Management at ASU

Studying at Arizona State University expanded the context to a global and cross-cultural level through interactions with international students and American professors, whose books and research are studied in various countries around the world. We explored, solved, and discussed the latest cases of global companies such as Amazon, Netflix, Boeing, and Disney at the Thunderbird School of Management, one of the leading schools in the world. Studying at AUK and ASU provided a strong practical component for addressing current issues and inspired the search for new innovative methods for routine processes and activities.

Anton Soloviov
Master of Global Managemet at AUK & Master of Leadership in Management at ASU

Studying at AUK for established professionals who work and have many life commitments is like a kind of athletic race, a workout for all muscles, which takes you to a completely new level of understanding business and global world processes. Just like in sports, after intense training, you come out renewed, filled with new knowledge and skills, and even more valuable in the job market. Essentially, you become a person capable of achieving more.

Yuriy Yarokh
Master of Technology Leadership & AI

My interest in technical management aligns perfectly with the Master of Technology Leadership & AI program, which combines excellent management courses with technical expertise. In 2024, I also plan to take advantage of the dual degree program and get a Master of Engineering Management degree from Arizona State University.
