Three new free publications published at UCT

As part of the Erasmus+ Virtual Visiting Professors project, the Institute of Economics and Management - VŠCHT Prague and its partners in Kaunas and Osijek are preparing nine courses in English that will be taught together for students from all three universities. Nine new publications will be created for this purpose. The listeners will thus be enriched with the experience of studying in a varied international group under the leadership of a foreign professor, without the need to complete a stay abroad (for which it can also be a good "taster") or solve an individual study plan. 

Already in the winter semester of 2022, their students, especially those with very good language skills in the last year of the Economics and Management program, can enroll in the subject Financial Derivatives by Professor Sajter or Regional Economics Professor Brunecki. The third subject that will be taught in this form in the winter semester isPrinciples of Marketing.

In the summer semester, publications will be added for the bachelor and master program Managerial Decision-making, Financial Markets and Risk Management, Supply Chain Management, Pricing (both UNIOS), International Trade Operations and International Logistics (both KTU).

Since the mentioned subjects and publications are in English, we take the liberty of including their perexy in English.
