Msc.International Trade and Business

3 reasons to study ITB:

You enjoy international affairs and international business

You want to study applied economics under the guidance of experienced practitioners

You want to understand how the economy works in a global context

In today's interconnected world, economic decisions are influenced by many political, social, and cultural factors you will learn to understand. In particular, you will study the connected global economy and the institutions involved in its formation and functioning. You will be able to understand the role of national governments and supranational bodies and examine how different economic and trading systems affect people's lives in both developed and developing countries. You will learn how individual local economies fit into the global economic environment.

You will study international trade, the relationships between foreign investment, innovation, and multinational companies, and business skills used in international trade. In most of the courses, you will also meet practitioners in the form of invited lectures, giving you insight into the practical application of the issues discussed. The knowledge and skills from the studied subjects are intertwined and complement each other. The study programme is primarily based on a personalized approach, which enables students to develop their preferred competencies, especially in relation to the topic of their thesis.

The study program is taught in English and thus increases the competitiveness of graduates in the labour market, their ability to communicate with business partners abroad and, moreover, increases their tolerance to cultural differences.

As a graduate, you can apply your knowledge in the manufacturing, service, business, government, and financial sectors. You will primarily find employment in the trade, investment, and strategy management sectors related to developing external economic relations at business and public administration levels. Our graduates of similarly oriented study programmes have in the past achieved important positions, such as PMI (executive director), TEREOS (general director), UNILEVER (sales director), and HOPI holding (member of the supervisory board).

Students applying for ITB will sit the admission exam on the campus in Prague in May or June. There are two written entrance examination tests – Economics and Management and World and regional economy.
