Human Resources Management - Human resources and employee motivation are the key elements for the long-term market survival of an organization, and the creativity and innovation in their implementation has a considerable bearing on the overall quality of relationships with potential clients and consumers of goods and services.

The key aspect of the teaching process at this study program is the use of case study methodology, which allows the students to develop systematic and analytical problem-solving skills through analysis of case studies of successful companies in the country and abroad.

Advanced software in the field of finance and accounting such as SAP, Pantheon, Asseco, Bloomberg, and platform Forex are used in teaching applied economic courses.
