Master’s Students Presented Their Projects on Basic Concepts of European Integration

On 18 November 2025, within the framework of the course “Contemporary Problems of Management and European Integration of Ukraine”, first-year part-time Master’s students of the Management educational program presented their projects on key topics related to the basic concepts of European integration. The presentations covered a wide range of issues — from EU institutions and the European labour market to indicators of economic inequality and the Corruption Perception Index.

The prepared materials demonstrated the students’ thorough understanding of such topics as: the history of the EU and its institutions; the specifics of Ukraine’s European integration course; modern challenges for business in the context of adapting to EU standards and the Single Market; as well as socio-economic issues, including income inequality in European countries and Ukraine.

It is important to note that some presentations were delivered in English, as the course itself is taught in English, which contributes to the development of professional English-language competence. Moreover, the analysis of European institutions and policies based on English-language sources helped students enhance their ability to work with authentic professional materials, as seen, for example, in projects dedicated to the European labour market.

The student presentations helped form a set of essential competences: analytical – the ability to compare management models and EU policies; communicative – public speaking skills in both Ukrainian and English; professional managerial – understanding how European integration processes affect business, the economy, and public administration; critical thinking – evaluating challenges and opportunities related to Ukraine’s integration into the EU.

Such tasks are an important component of a modern, competitive education for future managers, as they enable students not only to master the theoretical foundations of European integration, but also to apply them in practical managerial contexts — an essential requirement for successful professional activity in the conditions of Ukraine’s European integration.
