Emphasis is also placed on the interactivity of teachers and students and between students, as well as on the acquisition of feedback - in the case of case studies and in discussions and defense of projects. There is also an emphasis on using the English language (in addition to having successfully completed another foreign language).

Practical training

The graduate of the programme is ready to work in middle and senior management positions of enterprises of various industries and sectors as well as sizes, including managing his or her own business.

Thanks to the both relatively wide-ranging as well as specialized focus of the studied courses, the graduates of the programme are qualified for various job positions including specialized functions (eg. marketing, business, logistics, controlling, etc.) Graduating from a Master's degree programme enables graduates to deepen the general knowledge base of corporate economy and management sciences and to link them with practical application. The demand for graduates with managerial and business-economics skills is nowadays very timely given the rapidly changing business conditions and growing competition. This requires managers and professionals with a broad insight and ability to apply expertise to everyday practice, to support other people in the same. At the same time, however, graduates of a Master's degree programme also need a deeper, specialized knowledge of selected areas of management and business economics, which this programme provides through the offer of the recommended optional courses. The overall universality of the study (including the previous Bachelor's) enriched with the possibility to focus according the own preferences and interest enables graduates to apply in a wide variety of diverse businesses (above all) and organizations and represents a significant competitive advantage of the programme.
