Business Management

Overview

An important area of the study is mastering the analysis and design of management systems, including knowledge of management and managerial skills. Studying psychological, socio-cultural, business and other communication skills is part of the study. The complex of acquired knowledge and skills thus forms a top manager capable of covering all the essential aspects of the functioning of the company with the ability to manage the business properly and efficiently.

Practical training

The studies do not require the obligatory practical training of students in enterprises and leaves this area at the initiative of the students. However, ESF MU actively supports internships - students have the opportunity to enroll in the course Praxe (Practical Training) and, if necessary, to take advantage of pre-arranged positions in enterprises. Within this subject, usually three-week practice is rated by credits, but does not give an excuse from the compulsory parts of teaching subjects. Another option is the foreign work placements realized through the Erasmus+ program.
