Faculty of Economics and Administration, Masaryk University, Brno

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.

Disclaimer: no sugar coating, going to tell all good and bad about ECON MUNI. I am a master's level student specializing in business management and have a very brief professional experience in tech sales. I know you all expected to know general information about studying in Czech and Masaryk university but I love to go in details, I mean that's what our professors love: more passion more energy in your reports and presentation :)) . Thanks to this, as a student from Faculty of Economics I know inside out of the subjects I am studying so we can be the best future leaders and managers. I am especially grateful about the courses with seminars/labs to teach us real skills that connect academia and professional journey ahead us in the corporate world.

All in all, I think Masaryk university is the best place to study and become your best self!

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.
