Faculty of Economics and Management provides university education in following accredited degree programmes:
- Bachelor’s degree programme “Economics and Management”
- Follow-up Master’s degree programme “Economics and Management”
- PhD (doctoral) degree programme “Economics and Management”
The bachelor’s degree programme qualifies students to cope with the managerial processes on the knowledge platform specifically in branches such as management, economics, law, mathematics, statistics and informatics. The wide scope of social sciences contributes to the necessary basis of the students´ personality development issuing from creative approaches to the application of theoretical and practical knowledge learnt from research. This part of the study programme forms the baseline for students to qualify them for further master´s or doctoral degrees which the graduates may utilize for their professional careers within the military structures as well as in the civilian sector.
The programme structure consists of study branches that are projected mainly according to the requirements of the MoD into specific modules.
The programme syllabi simultaneously develop adequate studies oriented by military branches which form conditions for mastering the wide scale of significant knowledge necessary for a contemporary military professional and career officer in the Czech Army. Studies of such a focus respond to the request of career permeability within the dynamically developing military structures.
With regards to the requirements on the professional army the faculty guarantees standardized language training in two world languages and at the same time achieving the necessary physical condition in the above mentioned study programmes.
In the “Military Management” study branch, the bachelor’s study programme focuses on management as the whole paying specific attention to the special partial issues that reflect the requirements of the military department and wider security community. Along with learning theoretical knowledge of the military system, management students develop their knowledge and skills in the procedural management.
In the “Military Management” study branch, the bachelor´s study programme focuses on management as the whole paying specific attention to the special partial issues that reflect the requirements of the military department and wider security community. Along with learning theoretical knowledge of the military system management, students develop their knowledge and skills in the procedural management.
In the main features, the students´ basic skills are formed together with acquiring theoretical knowledge necessary for military command or other positions in army units and while fulfilling the goals of the Czech Republic commitments resulting from its membership in the EU and NATO.
The study of “Military Management” is divided into the following study modules:
- Mechanised and Tank Units Commander
- Reconnaissance Units Commander
- Artillery Units Commander
- Engineer Units Commander
- Management of Information Sources
The bachelor’s degree study in the “National Defence Economics” branch focuses on the fields of economics and resource management as a whole, but also on their parts as requested by the Ministry of Defence and other entities active in the sphere of defence and security. Within the study programme the goal is to handle all the economic, financial, material, personnel, organisational, information and management factors of the processes occurring in the units and departmental organizations as well as their inter-relations with the public administration.
Together with gaining theoretical knowledge from the area of making, allocating and utilising resources to meet the needs of the Army of the Czech Republic within peace and combat operations, the study concentrates on developing skills that are necessary for both managers and executives.

The FEM carries out and develops the education of experts in the Economics and Management follow-up master’s degree programme. The programme graduate receives the general academic and military-oriented education being thus qualified for middle management positions within the defence department, possibly in organizations involved in ensuring state security. Upon conclusion of the study they are awarded an “inženýr” (engineer) degree in the “Military Management”, “National Defence Economics” or “Security Management” study branch.
The branches of study continue and enhance the knowledge learnt at the bachelor’s level in study modules that are equal to bachelor’s degree programme modules. Doctoral degree programmes are considered the natural baseline of independent creative research activities. The doctoral degree studies development is based on the utilisation of all research sources and capacities outside the faculty as well, mainly in military research institutes and partnership educational and research institutions.
New researchers are trained in the “Military Management” and “National Defence Economics” study branches of the accredited Economics and Management doctoral degree programme. The faculty also contributes to the development of the “Forces and Population Protection” university doctoral degree programme with the following study branches:
- Forces and Population Protection Process Modelling and imulation
- NBC Weapons and Harmful Substances: Effects and Defence
- Population Protection
In addition to accredited teaching, the faculty also provides lifelong learning courses which considerably extend the offer of the Czech security and defence experts´ professional education.
