Overview

The programme's goal is to develop students into top specialists in the fields of economic modelling and methodology of economics. Dissertation topics include macroeconomic modelling, in particular in the area of monetary dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models, modelling of the determinants of economic growth, monetary economics, labour economics, economics of migration, microeconomic modelling, game theory, experimental economics, and institutional economics.

The aim of the Economics programme at Masaryk University is therefore to develop the graduates’ potential for scientific research and analysis with which they can independently formalize and resolve non-trivial problems of contemporary economics using often demanding mathematical and statistic instruments.

Occupational Profiles of Graduates

There are many job opportunities for graduates of the economics study programme. The graduates are suitable candidates for analytical and research positions in central and commercial banks, consulting companies, and government departments involved in the preparation and implementation of economic decision-making instruments (e.g. the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the National Bank of Slovakia, or the Czech National Bank).

The graduates find application in the academic sphere as well. A good knowledge of empirical work with data, economic modelling, and economic methodology are the graduates’ advantages for positions in statistical offices and agencies, companies in the fields of finance and financial markets, or analytical departments of public administration institutions and industrial and commercial companies.
