University of Economics Prague

What you'll study

Students study a mix of core and elective topics that build quantitative and professional capabilities. Typical areas covered include:

• Advanced corporate finance and capital structure
• Investment analysis, asset pricing and portfolio management
• Financial statement analysis and management accounting
• Auditing principles and financial reporting standards
• Financial modelling, data analysis and use of accounting/finance software
• Regulatory environment, ethics and corporate governance

Assessment usually combines exams, case studies, group projects and a master's thesis or practicum that applies theory to a real-world problem.

Entry requirements

Admission typically requires a recognised bachelor’s degree in economics, finance, accounting or a quantitatively oriented discipline. Programmes commonly expect evidence of strong quantitative ability, transcripts, a CV and a motivation statement; some applicants may need to demonstrate English proficiency. Relevant work experience can strengthen an application but is not always mandatory.

Career prospects

Graduates commonly move into roles such as financial analyst, corporate finance associate, management accountant, internal auditor, financial controller, or consultant/advisor in professional services firms. The blend of finance and accounting prepares students for positions that require both valuation and reporting expertise and can be a stepping stone to professional qualifications (for example ACCA/CPA pathways or CFA study).

Scholarships & funding angle

Prospective applicants should explore university scholarships, merit-based awards and scholarships targeting international students where available. Additional funding options include research or teaching assistantships, employer sponsorship for part-time study, national grants and external scholarships from professional bodies. Early contact with the programme office will clarify available support and application procedures.
