Pedagogical Orientation:

The department develops its educational activities within the scientific branch of econometrics, which is one of the three theoretical basis pillars for the Economics and Management study programme. The department guarantees a substantial part of the general curriculum of the faculty in bachelor’s study programmes through subjects mathematics, informatics, statistics, economic-mathematics methods and operations research and takes part in teaching subjects of general curriculum of the faculty in master’s study programmes. In addition to that, it provides tuition of accredited subjects of the applied base. A certain part of teaching is also carried out in the category of Population Protection and Logistics module subjects. As a high proportion of Econometrics Department teaching is carried out on the groups of subjects which are fundamental for acquiring the accreditation, it is supposed that the Department of Econometrics guarantees the corresponding potential for the accreditation in a long run. Firstly it is enabled by the wide and long term active participation of the department research and teaching staff on the research project of the faculty and their presenting and processing activities both in national and international environments. The subjects taught by the Department of Econometrics at pre-graduate and graduate levels of the full-time and part-time university study develop in faculty students both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in implementing mathematical research methods and the real usage of economic relations and patterns which exist and are applied in the economic and management practice of graduates. At the postgraduate level of university study the department is the basic training centre which guarantees and develops the branch of the Forces and Population Protection accredited doctoral study programme with the name Forces and Population Protection Process Modelling and Simulation.
