Profile of the graduate
A graduate of the study programme "General Management" acquires comprehensive knowledge of management disciplines that decisively create and predetermine him/her for working in management positions across the entire organizational structure of the company. During his/her studies, he/she can develop his/her general knowledge by choosing a minor specialisation, where he/she will expand the necessary knowledge, significantly strengthen his/her competence and acquire skills in the field (sub-specialisations):
- business management,
- personnel management,
- financial management,
- information management.
Significant qualitative progress will be achieved in the area of managerial, financial and information literacy, thus enabling better management of complex economic situations and tasks in the real and online space. Under the influence of developed critical and analytical thinking skills, as well as creativity and inventiveness, the graduate is able to proactively lead scientific and professional teams, organize their work and assist in the search for and implementation of specific project management solutions. The disposition of soft and hard skills enables the graduate to lead professional discussions in management topics, to contribute his/her opinions to public debates and to enrich them with an impartial and unbiased professional perspective. The acquired knowledge qualifies the graduate for employment in the international arena, both as a member of a work team, or as a leader, and as an entrepreneur.
