Description of direction
Students in the Finance and Accounting program gain advanced knowledge in finance and accounting, the functioning of financial institutions and banks, and skills in analysing basic economic phenomena and economic and financial situations of economic entities. A graduate of the second-cycle studies in Finance and Accounting understands in an advanced manner the causes and effects of economic phenomena at the macro- and microeconomic levels in the conditions of an open market economy. They can use theoretical knowledge in an advanced manner, select appropriate methods and tools, and acquire data for formulating and analysing simple and complex economic and financial processes and phenomena, including those related to the food economy. Graduates can critically analyse, evaluate, and interpret economic phenomena, indicate their consequences, and formulate economic and financial policy recommendations. They can effectively communicate with the environment using financial terminology and engage in discussions on economic issues by presenting arguments and evaluating the positions of other participants. They can organise their work, cooperate, and work in a team, including interdisciplinary teams, assuming various roles. They know the need for independent supplementation and improvement of acquired knowledge in finance and accounting. Graduates are prepared for professional work in enterprises, public and non-governmental organisations, including financial institutions. In addition, graduates find employment in operational and managerial positions in companies of various industries, consulting agencies, and non-profit organisations.
