Career Prospects and the Labour Market

Our institution is committed to ensuring that study programmes are continuously updated and aligned with the demands of the labour market. This is achieved through regular consultations with the Labour Market Boards and HR Club roundtables, as well as through cooperation agreements with major employers in the relevant fields. Students have the opportunity to participate in professional internships, which help them gain hands-on experience and often facilitate employment before or after graduation.

Student-Centred Approach

A cornerstone of our educational philosophy is the student-centred approach. This means that all teaching and research processes are designed to encourage active engagement, respect the individual needs of students, and create an environment where each student's talent and passion can fully express and develop.

Regular attendance at academic activities (lectures, seminars, labs, internships, etc.) is essential for students’ success. For this reason, attendance is mandatory for at least 75% of academic activities, ensuring the full acquisition of knowledge and skills.

Thesis

The programme culminates in the completion of a thesis of 19,000–20,000 words, which is an independent research project that demonstrates:

• The ability to collect, analyse and evaluate information from various sources.
• The capacity to reflect on theoretical debates and to offer improvements or additions to the existing theoretical framework.
• A precise and well-argued academic presentation of the conclusions reached.

The thesis is developed with the support of a professor in the relevant field, who supervises and guides the student until the finalisation of the project.
