Economics Degrees in Czech Republic

UNYP is very welcoming and supportive of students; it is not only a safe environment but also a great area to share your ideas and converse on intelectual matters. The homework is vast but informative and all organised to act as a consistent study system for future exams.

Studying the Master’s Degree in Finance at Masaryk University has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The program provided a strong balance between theoretical frameworks and practical applications, helping me deeply understand core topics such as corporate finance, financial analysis, accounting, and international economics. The professors are knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to engage in discussions that challenge your thinking. I particularly appreciated the diverse classroom environment, where students from various backgrounds brought different perspectives to financial topics. Beyond academics, living in Brno was a unique experience. The city is student-friendly, affordable, and culturally vibrant. I also had the opportunity to work part-time, which allowed me to gain real-world experience and apply what I learned in class. Overall, this program not only helped me grow academically and professionally but also personally. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their financial knowledge in a global context. Thank you, Masaryk University and Econ MUNI.

Thank you for your kind words and good luck with everything!

Studying for my Master in Finance at the Faculty of Economics and Administration, Masaryk University, has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived in the Czech Republic, I was welcomed into a vibrant, safe, and diverse student community that has made my journey unforgettable. The university’s academic environment is exceptional. The high-quality lessons and well-structured curriculum have challenged me to expand my knowledge and skills in finance, preparing me for a successful future in my field. The professors are not only highly knowledgeable but also approachable, always encouraging us to think critically and innovate. Beyond academics, I am thoroughly enjoying student life here. Brno, with its lively culture, affordable living costs, and convenient location, offers an ideal environment for both studying and exploring. The city is incredibly safe, which has given me peace of mind and the freedom to fully immerse myself in the experience. Studying at Masaryk University has also provided me with the opportunity to connect with students from all over the world, allowing me to build lifelong friendships and broaden my cultural horizons. This experience has truly been life-changing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a world-class education in a supportive and dynamic setting.

I divide my life into two parts, one is before I came here, the Czech Republic, and after. Firstly, I changed as a person significantly. Back at home, I thought our country is the center of the world, everyone knows about us and so on. Coming here, I realised that we are not that actually, there is a lot to do in tourism. Okay speaking of my social life, here you will make friends from all around the world, from every corner of this wonderful world. This means immersing yourself to different cultures, religions, perspectives, preferences, customs or values. Imagine how your horizon changes after all this, it is amazing to feel how your stereotypes are broken every single day about so many things. What else, coming here I developed a new hobby, travelling! Believe this is the best hobby ever to develop! Especially Czech Republic, located at Central Europe, has a relatively easy access to some wonderful jewels of Europe, such as Vienna, Warsaw, Berlin or Budapest. Academically speaking, Masaryk University has a high quality education with an affordable price. Degree programs are lot. Studying them is really an enjoyable experience, professors are always willing to help you, very professional. Information System works perfectly well, where you get access to important daily emails, information all about your studies, grades, performance, exams and everything. Well what else, it’s not only studying here in one place, there are a bunch of opportunities to go abroad for study and internships, such as Erasmus+ or outside Europe programs. About city of Brno, it’s a very cozy city with a lot of students, most of whom know speak English perfectly. People are warm and willing to help everywhere. Oh not to mention transportation system, never seen such a perfectly organised public transportation system in my life. You have an easy access to any corner of the city anytime with reasonable monthly price. On a personal level, studying abroad gives you the chance to challenge yourself, grow as an individual. You live here away from your loved ones, childhood friends, different culture, food, activities, I mean different environment. You don’t need to challenge yourself artificially, because every single day here comes with another adventure, problems to deal with, interesting dilemmas to choose one from. There is a lot to mention, but these are the ones I liked a lot here. I’m sure I will be missing all these moments as good old days.

UNYP offers a blend of American and European education with small classes, international faculty, and modern facilities in Prague, providing a multicultural and practical learning environment. UNYP emphasizes a holistic approach to education, focusing on developing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The multicultural environment not only enhances learning but also prepares students for global careers, making the experience at UNYP both academically rewarding and culturally enriching.

I’m recently a student of the program Economics and Public Policy (EPP). The main reason why I’m currently studying EPP is that I already had an experience with its Bachelor’s version- Economics (ECON). EPP is offering a large scale of the subjects, which is making the whole study attractive. Several courses are thought only for our group. Individual approach of teachers is perfect because you don’t have to hesitate to ask any questions and you can easily find all necessary answers almost immediately. Combination of advanced level of microeconomics and macroeconomics as well as courses like Behavioural Finance, Competition Policy and Regulation or even Economics and Psychology and Drugs in Economics showing the field of economics in many different ways. The University of Economics and mainly EPP is a very good option for everyone whose priority is highly ranked university and international environment that can provide you a valuable experience and a strong sense of responsibility. These are just a few reasons why I would highly recommend studying this program.

I would definitely recommend my program to others. There are two main reasons for this. The first reason is that I had two amazing years that I really enjoyed. I really enjoyed the time that I spent both in school and outside school. All the classes are good which keeps you motivated and the program is well structured so that you know what to expect. The second reason is that when you graduate you have really good chances of landing a good and highly paid job. I had success in working in Sweden within accounting and the Czech Republic within finance after I graduated.

I’ve studied here with minor specialisation in Insurance Mathematics and while it was challenging it opened a door for me to enter the actuary world, where I didn’t know existed before starting the degree. Many courses are not satisfactory and do not seem to related to my degree, but few excellent courses along with the teachers here make up for that. If I had to choose again I would 100% choose VSE.

There are many reasons why I applied for this program and even more of them why I would highly recommend studying it. Firstly, ECON Bachelor’s program is the base for EPP Master’s program and it will prepare you very well for all the courses that you will be studying during your master’s degree if you will decide to continue in the field of economics. Combination of microeconomics and macroeconomics, introduction to law, psychology or game theory, as well as several courses focused on the history and the European Union is really great for everyone who wants to have an overview from almost every sphere of life. Secondly, Prague is a perfect option if your preference is highly ranked university in the heart of Europe. A cosmopolitan city, which you can constantly explore, a mix of classmates from almost every single part of the world, working in varied teams and dealing with different cultures was totally amazing experience for me, which I will never regret. The last but definitely not least, the University of Economics and especially my ECON program provided me an introduction to the world of economics and thought me not only how to think outside the box but also to have a strong sense of responsibility and self-sufficiency.

I had an amazing opportunity to do my bachelor studies at the University of Economics, Prague with the major of economics. I can confidently say that throughout these three years I have drastically developed critical thinking, analytical and communication skills. International exposure and challenging, yet interesting courses gave me new perspective on ordinary things and shed light on the sophisticated academic theories. So far moving to Prague and selecting VSE was the most prominent and compelling decision in my life. I do not intend to create a perfect imagery of this school and particular program: I highly urge every candidate to evaluate this program in a context of other similar programs across different countries, compare university rankings, etc. Yes, there have been pitfalls along the way, confusion moment with administration matters and ambiguous teaching moments, but for me personally benefits and possibilities provided by this degree out weight any difficulties. If you doubt - think twice, but if you were getting more and more pumped while reading this - then go for it and have the best moments of your life in the very heart of Europe!

The programs at VSE are really great - I feel like they give you a great balance of theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. I know that what I am learning will be able to be applied in the future in my professional life. With regards to social life, Prague has so many international students and workers I'm constantly meeting new people from all around the world.

Czech Republic, and Prague specifically is a great place to start your experience as a young adult. You get to look for the new flat yourself, paying all the bills, doing the groceries and managing your budget (here you get paid on monthly basis and I was used to bi-weekly) so all of those are new challenges, some smaller some bigger, and Prague is a great place to experience them. Apart from all the great things the city has to offer, there comes the student life, the academic and the social one. The university itself has nice facilities to offer and the classes you attend are guaranteed to have international people in them. I think what makes the classes the best is the fact that so many people come from different backgrounds, cultures, countries etc. Additionally you can look for some events organized by the university or the students clubs and there are plenty of them!

I moved to Prague to get my Master degree in Management at the University of Economics. In these two years, I had interesting courses where I learned to interact with students all over the world. Also, working and studying in an international environment gave me a new perspective on business issues and related topics. Overall, the University of Economics in Prague was a great place to meet new people, network and enhance my knowledge.

Prague is a beautiful city but it is also a huge international hub; you get to meet people from all over the world while living in one of the most historic and beautiful cities of Europe. Living expenses are quite cheap compared to other cities in Europe and the quality of life is exceptional. There is also a huge opportunity to get professional experience through internships or part time jobs because a lot of international companies have offices in Prague and are constantly hiring students. The program itself is pretty complete but our success will definitely be determined by how much you put into it; it is all about how serious you decide to study on your own and how much effort you are willing to put.

I've decided to apply for CEMS MIM programme, because I wanted to meet new people from all around the world (classmates, professors but also professionals from various fields), challenge myself and deepen the knowledge of management and marketing (which I chosed as my minor). These expectations were not only met, but even exceeded! I had so many opportunities to talk to great people, visited many corporate partners, attend countless interesting lectures, talk to CEMS Alumni and last but not least spend an amazing semester in Rotterdam. I was also part of the CEMS Club Prague, where as a Head of Marketing I was responsible for promotion of all events organized for CEMSies, talk to prospective students, managed all social media, website and much more. CEMS is truely a community of great and open-minded people, who became my best friends!

In my opinion, the CEMS Masters in International Management at University of Economics, Prague is one of the best options to study internationally recognizable program with excellent reputation and rankings in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Prague offers vivid and diverse social life with excellent restaurants, coffee places to have a great brunch, theaters and sports events to visit for very affordable price together with competitive cost of living that many students will appreciate. On the top of that, University of Economics is the best economic university in Czech Republic and CEMS is the flagship masters program that holds many top rankings. I was also able to be part of amazing cohort, which was consisted of diverse students from all around the world and without any doubts, you will be able to create lifetime friendships after two years of the masters program. On the top of that, there is a restless CEMS Club Prague which is a volunteer-based student club that organises social, corporate, alumni and CSR events that are held every week and helps to create unforgettable experience. Due to CEMS Club and program management, students are exposed to many international corporations such as Deloitte, Škoda, PwC, Google, and Hilti, that are vital part of the program and give them opportunities for future jobs or internships during the studies. Moreover, the program executives are always there to assist you with any inquiries and their professional approach. I believe that the professional and personal network that I could build while studying CEMS in Prague will allow me to pursue my dreams and was one of the best decisions I have made.

I went to Prague few years ago as an Erasmus student, and decided to come back as a full time student for my master at the university of Economics ! The place is great for international student willing to discover the beauty of Czech language, but also the events and the culture around Truly an amazing city, with a great university !
