Undergraduate degrees
‘We offer three bachelor’s degree programmes taught entirely in English:
Bachelor of Management
This programme is taught by excellent academic staff, who combine scientific and technical skills with market knowledge.
Bachelor of Economics
This bachelor programme combines three essential elements for the education of an economist, in a unique way: a solid background in economic theory, a high degree of interdisciplinary learning in fields that are complementary to Economics (Management, Mathematics, Law, Sociology, and History), and mastering the analytical tools of economic reality.
Bachelor of Finance
This course provides the necessary quantitative skills to understand how financial markets function and how businesses operate and make decisions within these markets. It also provides a solid education in finance and an advanced level of specialisation in the areas of accounting, taxation and auditing, as well as in the areas of financial management of companies and financial markets. Students may also apply for the Dual Degree programme with Kozminski University in Poland.’
