On February 5, a new MBA class kicked off. Prof. Iryna Tykhomyrova, MIM-Kyiv president opened the event by telling about business school, its history, and traditions. Vladyslav Rashkovan, IMF board member mentioned in his welcome: “Passion for learning is the most important takeaway from MIM-Kyiv. It is critical as life-long learning is the only possible lifestyle nowadays. Your MBA is an important step on the way to making your dreams come true. I want our executives to be more sophisticated, Many mistakes were made and lessons learned. You need to make the most of this experience. MIM-Kyiv is the place to do so. Your companies will benefit from your studies here, so do your families, so do your children and our country as well.”
Knowing more about MIM-Kyiv, and experiencing its learning environment helped the newcomers to feel welcomed in the school’s community. From the very beginning, off-line and online were blended. Students made friends on social media and participated in the insta-quest house-warming tour. Getting to know each other through peer-presentation and learning about alumni community and networking events contributed to off-line.

On February 11, the new Senior Executive MBA class started their studies. Iryna Tykhomyrova said in her welcome: “This program will help you master the most current managerial skills and knowledge. First of all, critical thinking is important as it helps to differentiate between true and fake information, analyze and assess risks, and grasp the new trends. Secondly, the ability to make the right decision quickly is crucial for thriving. Thirdly, the capability to operate in the global environment, understanding other cultures and the way to do business internationally is the cornerstone of scaling business outside Ukraine.” Oleksiy Sologub, chairman of the board of the Technomedecs Group shared his expectations of the program: “I want to see the picture outside my business. I am immersed in it. So, I need to see my business from a different perspective. I also hope to summarize my experience, to expand my network, and to make new friends.”
We wish our new students an exciting journey!
