With an emphasis on critical thinking and an interdisciplinary approach, students gain a strong foundation in economic theory, legislation, and best practices, all aligned with global standards and Croatia’s unique needs. Through applied learning and industry connections, students develop expertise in areas like the digital economy, innovation, and economic development, ensuring they are well-prepared to thrive in today’s dynamic and rapidly evolving economic landscape.

The Economics graduate program is shaped by input from industry leaders, professional associations, and public sector organizations.

Collaborations with national and international associations, such as the European and American Economic Associations, provide specialized knowledge, preparing students for roles in both public and private sectors.

The Faculty actively contributes to local growth, serving as a hub for scientists, professionals, and representatives from various associations to organize discussions, scientific research projects, and professional events that drive innovation and shape the future of economics.

Upon the completion of this graduate programme, students are awarded the academic degree of a University Master of Economics (univ. mag. oec.).
