As the programme exposes students to topics in mathematical economics, mathematical statistics and finance, applicants are required to have an excellent background in high school mathematics. Prior knowledge of economics or finance is an advantage but it is not required. In addition, applicants should have a good command of English corresponding at least to B2 level under the CEFR system and they should be capable of reading textbooks of economics and mathematics without difficulties.
Mandatory courses introduce the students to microeconomics, macroeconomics and provide students with nontrivial tools of mathematical analysis and statistics. Mandatory courses are intended to give a broad overview of major topics in economics and finance, and to provide a solid background for further studies of specialized elective courses. Elective courses cover a wide range of specific areas in economics and finance, which allows the students to specialize in the field of their interest. The topics include finance and banking (e.g. introductory banking, financial accounting, international finance, public finance), economic policy (e.g. economic policy, global financial crisis), strategic management, international trade and European economic integration. We also offer courses in complementary areas (e.g. history of economic thought, game theory and political economy, introduction to sociology).

Description of verification and evaluation criteria:
In addition to the application form, every applicant needs to provide the following documents:
a) Copy of a diploma to show completed secondary (or higher) studies, or confirmation that ongoing secondary studies will be completed in the current academic year;
b) Transcript of records and academic results from previous studies;
c) Structured CV
d) Motivation letter
e) Document showing the level of English proficiency
f) Document showing the level achieved in mathematics.
Ad a) Confirmation of studies may be substituted with a transcript of records, provided that these are from the same academic year as the application.
Ad e) Applicants should provide a certificate from one of following standardized tests:
A standardized English test is not required from applicants who:
When a score from an English-language test is not presented, the applicants should provide a certificate of their use of English during their prior studies to support their claim. The certificate should contain contact information (an email address and a telephone number) to a person (a programme director, or a school principal) who can confirm the scope of the use of the English language in the program.
Ad f) Part of the degree programme is highly mathematical in content and therefore another pre-condition for acceptance is to reach the required number of points set by the Dean for that particular academic year, through one of the following options:
● Predicted or final score in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) Group 5 – Mathematics;
● Grade from A level Mathematics in the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE A Levels) not including General Studies, Critical Thinking, Thinking Skills, Knowledge and Enquiry, Global Perspectives and Research or Project Work. We are happy to consider applicants with the combination of A Level Mathematics and A or AS Level Further Mathematics. Please, indicate whether or not the applicant’s school or college offers Further Mathematics classes. The required minimum A Level is ABB. Applicants taking four subjects will not be at an advantage compared to those taking three. GCSEs or equivalent qualifications may be taken into account but will not be considered without A Levels;
● Score in the College Scholastics Ability Test (CSAT, Suneung) subject Mathematics;
● Score in the SAT section Mathematics, or in SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 1, or in SAT Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2.
● Score in the ACT Composite Test section Mathematics.
● Score in AP Calculus AB exam, or in AP Calculus BC exam.
● Score in the SCIO Mathematics Test.
● Final exam score in Mathematics from ÚJOP, Charles University, Poděbrady.
For SCIO, SAT and ACT, only test results from the year of the intake or from the previous three calendar years can be accepted. An alternative to all listed tests or exams is to have passed the course JEB122 Introductory Mathematics at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University.
The required minimum along with the distribution of admission points for all the options of proving Mathematical abilities and knowledge of English will be determined using the latest publicly available statistical distributions of grades and scores in March 2023.
All documents which are not originally in Czech, Slovak or English must be officially translated into English.
The submitted documents are evaluated by the Admission Committee. Specifically, the Committee assigns admission points in the range of 0 to 45 for Mathematics, 0 to 45 points for English and 0 to 10 points for the General profile of the applicant, based on the results of the respective tests, CV and the Motivation letter. The point limit for accepting applicants is set by the Dean with respect to the number of applicants and the capacity of the programme.
Admission to Bachelor's studies is conditioned by completed secondary education confirmed by a school-leaving certificate.

Please review the following document summarizing math prerequisites for the Bachelor programme in Economics and Finance.
Bachelor's graduates are qualified to undertake intermediate level quantitative analysis and modeling in economics and finance. The program is designed to be equivalent to the undergraduate programmes in Economics and Finance in the top universities in the EU, including a significant part of mathematics and statistics. Bachelor's graduates are familiar with the essential economics knowledge and quantitative skills, as well as detailed knowledge about particular fields such as financial markets, banking, international trade and finance, public economics and economic policy-making. The level of instruction and requirements in the core courses facilitate easy transfers of the graduates into top Masters programmes in Economics and Finance in the EU.
Tuition [EUR] / per period: | 7000 EUR / year |
