Second- to fourth-year students of the Financial Security Educational Programme of the Department of Accounting and Auditing continue to develop their professional and personal competencies through self-education as part of the activities of the student research group “Research on Accounting, Financial and Economic Aspects of the Functioning of Business Entities at the Micro-, Meso- and Macroeconomic Levels” (Finance Section, supervised by Kateryna Sochka, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor) and the study of finance-related disciplines.
Amid economic uncertainty, changing labour market conditions, and increasing financial responsibilities, financial literacy has become an important skill for young people. The ability to plan a personal budget, monitor expenditures, build savings, make informed financial decisions, maintain sound financial habits, understand the fundamentals of investing, and mitigate financial risks plays an important role in ensuring financial security and supporting personal and professional development.
To enhance their financial literacy and acquire practical knowledge in personal financial management, students were encouraged to complete the online educational courses “Personal and Family Budget” (Prometheus educational platform) and “Personal Financial Management: Features of a Sports Career” (Zrozumilo educational platform), with the opportunity to obtain certificates upon successful completion.
The courses provided students with practical knowledge and useful tools for managing personal finances. Students strengthened their skills in assessing personal financial opportunities and risks, setting financial goals, and managing their finances responsibly. These competencies are particularly valuable for young people who are taking their first steps in professional life and building their financial independence.
We congratulate our students on their latest educational achievements and wish them continued success in both their professional and personal development. Continuous learning and the willingness to develop new skills help future finance professionals adapt to changing economic conditions and remain competitive in the labour market.
