The main goal of the program is to prepare highly qualified professionals who can confidently navigate the trends and challenges of the global economy. Graduates acquire both universal and specialized competencies that ensure their stability and competitiveness in the national and international labor markets.

The program is updated annually according to global trends, employer demands, and the university’s research priorities.
