Graduates receive a Czech degree fully accredited by Charles University.

Faculty produce influential research at the frontiers of the discipline, publish in leading economic and policy-oriented journals, and are involved in major research grants. Students work closely with an adviser and a committee of experts. The fully funded programme combines challenging coursework with original research. A close-knit, international community offers opportunities for research-stays at elite global research institutions.
