Faculty Profile

Why study economics at the Faculty of Economics?

Because as our graduates, you will be able to:

  • understand the contemporary world and the people living in it in a more comprehensive way,
  • think critically and make sound decisions,
  • grasp how markets, firms, politics, the state, as well as marriages and social relationships function,
  • and pursue what you enjoy most — allowing you to follow your dreams.

That is why you will find opportunities…

  • in private companies and ministries, in positions others often do not reach — as responsible directors, insightful analysts, or even adventurous researchers.

What do we offer you?

  • A broad scope of study in economics and related disciplines, ensuring a high standard of university-level education.
    • The general focus of studies at the Faculty of Economics (NF) allows those of you who are not yet firmly decided on a specific area within the social sciences to gradually find your own path. You will not be narrowly trained only for the business world, yet you will still be well prepared to succeed there.
  • Not only economic theory, but also its practical applications.
    • During your studies, you will complete internships in companies, ministries, and non-profit organisations.
  • The ability to address essential issues using the right tools.
    • We will teach you to understand inequality, competition, firms, profit, inflation, unemployment, as well as how to acquire and retain wealth.
  • Degrees from a prestigious faculty of VŠE that open doors to top positions in both the private and public sectors.
      • As graduates of the Faculty of Economics (NF) of VŠE, you will possess economic expertise that enables you to work not only as analysts and economic advisors in public institutions, but also as managers in companies — in roles that shape strategy and the future.
  • Space for discussion and forming your own views on economic and social issues.
    • At NF you will participate in discussion seminars as well as lectures given by leading practitioners.
  • Integration into an international environment.
    • Every fifth student you meet in the halls and lecture rooms of our faculty comes from abroad.
    • Each of our students has the opportunity to study for a semester or two at universities around the world.
  • Involvement in economic research.
    • Research teams at the Faculty of Economics have long been working on projects in economic research. Already as students, you can join these teams and, together with us, explore and better understand how people, firms, politicians, and states behave.

 

„Economics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.”

L. Robbins (1962)
