Master's Programme: Economics and FinanceAcademic year 2024/2025 Master in Economics and Finance (MEF) is a two-year program taught in English for students with a completed Bachelor’s degree. The program aims to give students a thorough understanding of theoretical and applied economics and finance. We put an emphasis on developing strong analytical skills, which allow our graduates to solve complex problems in the areas of economics, finance, investment, etc. The courses are taught by the faculty of the Institute of Economic Studies (IES) of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University, Prague, and by external professionals from the financial industry. The curriculum taught at IES is recognized by the Chartered Financial Analysts Institute (CFA) University Affiliation Program as compatible with the CFA candidate body of knowledge. Our graduates typically assume challenging positions in business, the financial sector, consulting, academia, public administration, or international organizations worldwide. The program director and coordinator is doc. Bc. Jiří Novák, M.Sc., Ph.D. For detailed information about the program, visit the MEF program webpage. Program structure: To graduate from the program, students must (1) complete the minimum number of credits from courses in the structure specified below, and (2) write and successfully defend their Master’s thesis during the Final Exam.
Explanation: Compulsory Courses The two compulsory seminars support students in writing their Master’s Thesis, typically in the second year of their studies. Add the seminars, students present intermediate drafts of their work and receive feedback from faculty. Area Electives Students are required to complete a minimum number of credits in each of the four key subject areas: microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and finance. Electives in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics equip students with fundamental knowledge of theoretical and applied economics as well as of statistical and econometric methods essential for mastering robust data analysis. In each subject area, students can meet the requirement for the minimum number of credits either by taking two intermediate courses (worth 6 credits each) or one advanced course (worth either 9 or 10 credits). Elective courses in the area of finance cover a wide range of topics, which allows students to specialize in the field of their interest. Students are required to complete at least 18 credits for the courses specified for this subject area. In all four key subject areas, students may also choose to complete more than the minimum number of credits, in which case the additional credits count both towards (i) the subtotal of 88 credits from elective courses (see below) and (ii) the total number of 120 credits from all courses. For all advanced and intermediate courses listed in the area of macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics that are offered in the fall term (i.e., winter semester, WS), the deadline for enrollment and canceling the enrollment is deferred till November 30. The delayed deadline applies to the following courses: JEM177 - Intermediate Macroeconomics I, JEM216 - Advanced Macroeconomics, JEM176 - Intermediate Microeconomics II, JEM215 - Advanced Microeconomics, JEM062 - Introductory Econometrics, JEM217 - Advanced Econometrics. This gives the students more flexibility to choose their preferred way of completing their study requirements. Other Electives Other elective courses cover many specialized topics related to economics and finance. In total, students must complete at least 88 credits from any elective courses (i.e., area electives and other electives) offered in the program. This implies that students can count a maximum of 12 credits towards the total of 120 credits from the courses studied at any other part of Charles University or at other universities.
