The MSc ECONOMICS provides students with in-depth knowledge of the phenomena and problems of an economy at the micro- and macroeconomic scale. The major allows students to acquire skills useful in economic analysis and the decision-making process. The studies consist of modules of economic subjects as well as non-economic fields relevant to the understanding of economic issues. Students acquire knowledge of economic theory, the practice of economic life and analytical methods used in research on the economy. Diploma holders will have acquired knowledge and competencies that allow them to find interesting employment in a wide range of institutions and the sphere of social life.

Thanks to a large number of interactive classes, students are able to develop their practical skills in using the acquired knowledge to solve real problems. During the studies, particular emphasis is placed on research precision and on shaping appropriate ethical attitudes. Social competences related to working in groups and managing research projects are also developed.

Taking into account the fact that the economic life develops, the demand for specialists in the field of economics increases, the aim of second-cycle studies is to educate graduates adapted to the contemporary requirements of the labor market. These are people who can conduct independent research, make decisions important for the functioning of enterprises and strategic decisions in public institutions.
