For most people higher education is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Studying your fundamental major is hard work, but help is never far! The teaching staff are kind, friendly, and supportive. They are always ready to help students out with any problems. Lecturers are experienced in their subjects and provide a high level of teaching. Most of them are pioneering researchers who are distinguished in their areas of specialization.

In every subject, lectures on theory are combined with practical classes. In the first two years students study more general subjects while specialization usually begins in the third year. Apart from compulsory subjects, students have a choice of several optional courses. Advanced students participate in competitions and do some researches.

Some of our graduates go on to higher degrees (MSc and PhD), while others have entered a very wide range of careers, including information technologies, banking and finance, marketing and management, accounting and audit, civil law and labour law. Those who want to continue their studies for a PhD sign up for postgraduate programs in Economics and Management, Finance and Credit, Accounting and Statistics, Civil Law and Labour Law.
