The Department of Business Economics, unlike the specialized departments, primarily offers foundation courses. We offer over 20 courses in the undergraduate, master’s and the higher-level vocational training programmes to both full-time and correspondence students.
The Department employs fifteen full-time lecturers, a senior research fellow, a department secretary, and a teaching assistant. More than 80% of the Department's staff hold a Ph.D. degree. These include 2 University Professors, 7 Associate Professors, 2 College Associate Professors, 1 Senior Lecturer, 2 Master lecturers and 2 Master teachers. The teaching assistants of the Department have successfully participated in TDK (Scientific Students' Association) conferences and national case study competitions in recent years (national 1st and 2nd place).
The range of courses offered by the Department is remarkably broad: Undergraduate programme: economics, methodology and business studies: 2 courses; compulsory elective foundation courses: 5 courses; compulsory elective social, environmental and regional studies: 7 courses; compulsory elective professional studies: 2 courses; foundation course - social sciences: 1 course; elective courses: 2 courses. Higher-level vocational training programme: 2 courses. Master's programme: 4 courses. The Department offers 14 courses of its educational portfolio in English language as well in the Business Bachelor's, Business Informatics and Master's programmes.
The Department of Business Economics pays particular attention to the development of teaching methods, and several experimental projects are underway (e.g., flipped classroom). The aim is to incorporate the latest pedagogical techniques into our daily teaching activities. Harnessing the benefits of experiential learning using e-learning and blended learning materials, both in correspondence and full-time courses, has been a leading task in the Department's activities for several years. Our lecturers use electronic examination forms, and a range of pedagogical support applications (e.g., Poll Everywhere, Kahoot, Socrative) are used in seminars and lectures as an integral part of the course. Our lecturers are also actively involved in a number of national and international research projects and participate in the Faculty's mentoring programme. They also support the work of the Vice Rector for Academic Development, particularly in reducing dropout rates. The Department also plays a prominent role in creating and developing the PSZK+ programme.
