Our executive MBA programs are designed for individuals – entrepreneurs, managers and employees of companies and organizations, representatives of the non-profit sector, government, and all others who want to effectively develop their knowledge and skills in management with a focus on linking theoretical knowledge and practice. gain new contacts and really enjoy studying.
How the MBA study differs from the classical study of economics and management?
Classical economic study is focused mainly on the theory and students are not required to confront a theory with a practice or its immediate application. On the contrary, in the MBA study, it is assumed that the student is already established in business, usually in a managerial or other executive position, and applies the acquired knowledge for this practice. The teaching is thus practically oriented and is very effective with a regard to the occupancy of the students.

Written projects and final work
After each of the eight modules, the student submits a separate written project, in the scope of 12 pages. The final work effectively follows the written project – projects. The scope of the final work is 60 pages. The final work is evaluated by two lecturers – the supervisor and the opponent of the work. The evaluation scale is the same as for the written projects. Sufficient theoretical or practical foundation is assumed in this type of the study, therefore the MBA study is based exclusively on the practical written projects without any exams.
