Professional Experience 1

FP-Uopx1PAcad. year: 2024/2025

The inclusion of professional practice in the study programme is motivated by providing space for students to gain experience with the application of study knowledge in practice. The Faculty of Business and Management has always profiled itself as a school with a strong link to the economic environment and potential employers of its students and graduates. The Department of Finance supports and monitors the creation of relationships between students and individual business and non-business entities within the framework of practice.

Practical Training I is carried out in the extent of 120 hours during the semester (not possible during the examination period). Before the start of the internship, a contract on professional practice must be concluded with the entity in which the student will carry out the internship. The contract can only be concluded with a practice provider whose line of business/activity is linked to the study programme. The student must not do the practical training as part of his/her own self-employment activity.
