Introduction
A broad scope of knowledge, analytical ability, versatility, presentation and writing skills on economic topics, and applied statistical and econometric tools. The program Economics offers all of this to its students. It is designed primarily for those who are interested in economic issues, who like to reflect upon the foundations of their analyses or on how to assess specific economic decisions, and who want to learn more about the workings of markets and economies. Students will also learn about modern analytical methods and software.
In the Master’s program, you will expand your knowledge of behavioral and experimental economics, transport economics, and public policy, as well as macroeconomic modeling. You will learn how to empirically identify and quantify the effects of specific economic decisions. Students of Economics gain universal knowledge that provides them with a broader perspective on economic, political, and social issues. They also gain a more critical view of different situations and a more appropriate choice of stance that takes into account the broader context.
Follow-up Studies
Successful completion of the program may help you apply for our full-time or combined Ph.D. programs offered in English or for similarly oriented programs in the Czech Republic or abroad.
