DIDACTIC ACTIVITY

It takes 9 semesters (4.5 years) for a student to attain a diploma and master’s degree in the branch of ECONOMICS. During the first 3 years of study the student obtains basic knowledge in economics and afterwards a more detailed knowledge in study lines and specialisations such as:
• accountancy and finance,
• marketing and research,
• market analysis of economic activity,
• economics and organization of the public sector,
• economic policy and regional economics,
• tourism management,
• europeistics,
• agro-bussiness,
• business management,
• local finances.

Students can choose their major study lines after the 3rd and 6th semesters. It is the aim of the master’s programme to:
• equip the student with a wide knowledge of management and organization, finance, information technology and economics,
• deepen the student’s own interest in the obligatory subjects,
• encourage engagement in independent work through appropriate selection of subjects from a number of options,
• direct students in the gaining of both theoretical and practical knowledge through e.g. the acquiring of foreign languages, the application of computers in management, the gaining of knowledge in management and organization techniques, as well as the enrichment of overall knowledge of economics,
• develop knowledge of the subject area through use of the latest technology.

A graduate of the above specialisation will be able to work in administration, economics and local and regional units as well as run his/her own private business. A graduate with the diploma in europeistics may be employed in any position covering European integration.
In addition, graduates can also be employed in commerce, industry, services, and in a variety of consulting agencies, economic organizations and organizations of employers. The general and specific knowledge obtained during the study period provides a good basis for the efficient solving of problems in the management of human resources, building finance strategy, market research, law and the economics of enterprise, and prepares graduates for cooperating substantially and successfully with groups of specialists in those areas. Moreover, graduates will possess adequate knowledge in the fields of psychology, sociology and labour organization.

The above-mentioned features will enable graduates of this branch to move freely in the current economic situation.
Taking into account the region’s needs, post-diploma studies have been established in the following lines:
• international integration,
• state and self-government administration.
Moreover, the post-graduate studies for interested groups on request are organized by the Divisions.
