About the faculty

The Faculty of Economics teaches economics as a social science: how markets, firms and the state work, why inflation, unemployment and inequality arise and how economic policy responds. Alongside theory, students take quantitative methods, economic history, public administration and regional studies, and do internships in companies, ministries and non-profits. They can join the faculty's research teams. Both the bachelor's and the master's level offer a programme in English, and many students come from abroad.
