In this interdisciplinary programme, you will work with knowledge and methods from economics, management, administrative sciences, political science and other related disciplines. You will apply this interdisciplinary intersection when formulating questions, academically coherent solutions and more practically oriented concepts usable in a broader understanding of public sector action and the behaviour of individual actors. The philosophy of the programme recognises spatial differentiation, hierarchy and the complexity of natural, social and economic structures and processes. It also emphasises the need for interdisciplinary, internally integrated approaches to their comprehensive understanding and effective, albeit partial, moderation.

Study

The study programme develops your critical thinking, your ability to assess social problems from wider perspectives and your deep expertise in economics and other scientific disciplines. Alongside an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving, you will strengthen soft skills such as teamwork, cultivated oral and written expression, language competencies and innovative forms of teaching and research supported by distance and experimental tools. Graduates are active in two fields: a) the academic sphere and other research-oriented institutions; b) the professional sphere. You will be prepared for a wide scale of professions with significant social impacts in public administration, national and supranational regulatory bodies, politics, the non-profit sector (charity organisations, think tanks), influential organisations, journalism and the private sector, especially in CSR (corporate social responsibility) and PR. You can also move into higher executive positions that require a comprehensive perspective on the issues at hand. Graduates have career prospects both in Czechia and abroad.
