Graduate Testimonials

What Our Students Say

"I spent most of my career managing international projects worth up to €5 million. Football always fascinated me, but I understood that to make a real impact, I needed to know how a club functions behind the scenes. Thanks to PASS, I reframed and successfully delivered a project testing the business model for independent women's football clubs, supported by the EU and UASEEDS, and also launched a partnership with WFC "Mariupol." PASS significantly shortened my path to making a professional transition into football."

Nataliia Domanska

Nataliia Domanska

Graduate of the "Sports Management" program

"I had long dreamed of building my own path into the world of sports — moving to Spain was partly for that reason. I followed PASS for several years and knew I could find similar courses in other countries, since I speak several languages. But the expertise PASS offered was impressive. The main difference is the sports-focused approach. Most similar programs train corporate managers, but sport isn't the corporate world. The intensity of the course and the demands of the instructors helped me believe I could achieve what I truly wanted — not just what "would be required.""

Georg Boldeskul

Georg Boldeskul

Graduate of the "Sports Management" program

"I came to PASS University as an active professional footballer. Before the course, I was convinced that the hardest work in football was on the pitch itself. But after the program, my view changed completely. I gained a new perspective on the work of coaches, analysts, scouts, managers, and all the staff — I understood just how much work stands behind every match and every decision at a club. I'd especially note that even after finishing the program, I stayed in contact with the lecturers — to me, that's a sign of the quality of how students are treated."

Dmytro Khomchenovskyi

Dmytro Khomchenovskyi

Graduate of the "Sports Management" program

"I came to PASS University from football — at a certain point, I clearly realized I lacked the knowledge to be as effective as possible in my position. The main difference at PASS is the level of lecturer involvement and the quality of interaction. Most other platforms in Ukraine operate formally: PDF materials, independent assignments, a final defense. At PASS, the learning is far more interactive and close to real professional engagement. In the end, it gave me not just theory, but a set of concrete skills I could put into practice right away."
