Information about the Faculty of Economics
The Faculty of Economics was founded in 1990 and in 1991 it became one of the founding faculties of the newly established University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. Over the years, it has gained a position of a representative university institution, which can boast of its own well qualified staff and external lecturers and of good material back-up for teaching and researching activities. Within the study activities, the Faculty now offers more economics programmes leading to both Bachelor and Master degrees and therefore more specialized fields of study. It uses both locations in Cheb and in Pilsen to collaborate with the regions in specializations and cross-bordering and international cooperation. The focus on the issues of the European Union is an important innovation factor, together with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The Faculty has all necessary facilities for lectures as well as for self-study.
The Centre for Longlife Education offers a part-time form of study (for the employed students) in both locations. This Centre also organizes specialist courses and a special form of the Open University in Cheb.
Research activities are guaranteed by the specialist departments. These participate in projects of different agencies, such as Grant Agency of the Czech Republic or projects of the European Union. The Faculty takes part in a whole range of research projects and studies at the regional level for companies and for public administration institutions, development agencies and other subjects.
Attention is also paid to EU accession and preparation of graduates for business activities in the environment of the EU market. The students can take advantage of studying abroad within international programmes (Erasmus, Leonardo etc.) and other projects in the EU countries. The Faculty attempts to offer international experience when preparing its graduates for their career.
The Faculty is interested in developing relationships with other universities, and even more with companies and instutions in the regions. The importance of practical experience is stressed during seminars, especially when preparing students for Bachelor or Master Works.
The Faculty has created good conditions for its continuous development, necessary innovations and fulfillment of its specific role in the regions of Pilsen and Karlovy Vary when participating in the EU activities.
