The University of Economics, Prague, opens for the sixth consecutive year a two-year Master’s Program International Business – Central European Business Realities. The Program is fully taught in English and does not demand any other language knowledge.

The program is a unique opportunity for students from all over the world to accomplish a business education (regardless their background and bachelor’s diploma origin) in disciplines related to international business and its specificities in the Central European business environment.

Students finish the program with a comprehensive business education in the main fields of economics, management, finance, trade, marketing, business practices and negotiations. They are able to apply an interdisciplinary and complex approach to the management of processes in the European and namely in the Central European markets, to develop business strategies tailored to European realities and to apply successfully intercultural differences in various missions. Achievement of the program goal is guaranteed by professors at the University of Economics, Prague and by Academic Worldwide Capacities (visiting professors).
