Frequently asked questions

Do I need a strong background in mathematics?

A basic background in mathematics is an advantage, since the programme includes analytical subjects. AUK supports students in raising their level step by step.

Can I combine studying with work?

Yes, many students combine studying with work. We recommend planning your workload together with an academic advisor, especially during internships and project modules.

Is the degree recognised internationally?

Yes. The programme follows the American standard of Arizona State University, which supports the international academic and career mobility of its graduates.

When do internships start?

The academic internship is scheduled for the fourth year. Extracurricular internships, arranged with the student and partner companies, can start as early as the second year.

Can I apply for a grant?

Yes. Grants are available both at admission and during your studies, according to the programme's terms and the student's results.

How long is the bachelor's programme?

The bachelor's programme takes 4 years and ends with a Ukrainian degree awarded in line with the national education standards.

Can I continue to a master's degree afterwards?

Yes. After the bachelor's programme students can continue at master's level — including the 4+1 track, which leads to a master's degree from Arizona State University.

What does the 4+1 format mean?

After the four-year bachelor's programme students can continue to a master's degree on a shortened track: one more year in an Arizona State University master's programme, and they graduate with an ASU master's degree.

Do I have to enrol in an AUK master's programme afterwards?

No. After the four years students can take a job or continue at another master's programme, in Ukraine or abroad.
