FM offers study programs at all educational levels – bachelor, master and doctoral in full-time and combined forms. At the undergraduate level, students get education in the general basics of management; this can be further specialized according to their interest in the various areas of management. In the master’s program, students choose one of these specializations: management of the corporate sector, management of public services, or information management. FM is the only faculty in the Czech Republic which also offers a specialization in health care management. FM maintains long-term relationships with major regional firms and companies that help students to develop their practical skills. The relationships are realized by declarations of cooperation, thanks to which, students get practical experience in companies during their studies or they write their theses in cooperation with the companies.
