Combining over 35 schools and departments, Kharkov National University is one of the oldest and highly reputable education institutions in Ukraine. Our program targets students who have gained a strong background in applied mathematics at the School of Mechanics and Mathematics. Biostatistics also requires knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry and clinical trials; for these courses, we’ve invited professors from the university’s School of Medicine. We have also invited instructors from the School of Foreign Languages to improve students’ English language proficiency.

What if I no longer want to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical field?
No problem! Pharmaceutical applications are just part of the program. If you decide that the pharma industry isn’t for you, you will still gain a deep knowledge of SAS and statistical analysis that will open doors for you in many other industries, such as finance and banking, retail and logistics, and many others.
Is this a limited-access program?

Why SAS?
SAS is internationally regarded and sets the industry standard in clinical trial analysis. It is also the only product that has been officially approved by the FDA as a format for clinical data. We have worked hard to foster an academic partnership between Kharkov National University and the SAS Institute and this relationship enables us to offer our students unique opportunities to become experts in the use of industry-standard software.
