The Department of International Economic Relations offers a prestigious study of international economic relations, specialising in bachelor's and master's degree programs in applied economics.
The Department of International Economic Relations successfully follows up on the functioning of the Department of European Integration, which was established on 1 April 2004 on the eve of the Czech Republic's accession to the European Union.
The department's mission is to educate economists, managers, and specialists focused on European integration and international economic relations, who will find full application in companies, public institutions, and authorities at the regional, national, and global levels. In addition to a broader economic basis, teaching is focused on the issues of globalisation, international trade, and economic integration in regional, European, and global contexts.
Special attention is paid to the focus and profiling of studies on the practical application of graduates in the challenging competitive environment of the global economy through study internships at foreign universities or gaining students' work experience on domestic and international internships (e.g. in EU institutions).
Optional subjects from the fields of the economics, public economics and administration, business or environmental studies further supplement the focus of the study. Emphasis is also placed on developing language skills in the form of teaching selected subjects in English.
The department establishes and expands relations with experts from practice and foreign universities with a similar focus, emphasising them in pedagogical and scientific research activities.
