Overview
Charles University Faculty of Social Sciences is now able to offer two fully-accredited Master's degree programmes in English, giving students a new opportunity to obtain their Master's degree from one of the oldest universities in Europe.
Degrees are offered in the subjects:
1. International Economic and Political Studies (IEPS)
2. Economics
The application deadline for school year 2004/2005 is 31st March 2004.
International Economic and Political Studies is a two-year English-language Master's degree programme fully accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education, which seeks to investigate contemporary political, economic and social issues from a multidisciplinary perspective. Although the predominant emphasis is on approaches from economics and political science, students will also be expected to explore historical and sociological perspectives. And in a world of omnipresent media, basic techniques for the analysis of the media will also be emphasised.
Through the core courses, students will gain both the theoretical tools and the historical background to develop a deeper analysis of the world they live in, while though their elective classes (which they may choose from a wide range of up to 50 classes per semester), they are free to develop their own specialisation.
The programme is deliberately structured to take advantage of the multidisciplinary nature of the Faculty, and students will be encouraged to make connections between different fields of study, learning to combine a Global perspective with attention to detail and local interests. It is an excellent stepping stone in developing an academic career in any of the Faculty's academic disciplines, as well as a valuable source of analytical skills and practical background knowledge that can be applied in professional life.
