Process Management Study Programme

Study programme overview

The Process Management study programme is a professional bachelor’s study programme, the aim of which is the maximum possible degree of connection between study and practice. Students who successfully complete this programme thus become experts in the field and can apply in a wide range of professions, especially at the level of lower and middle management in all types of companies and organizations.
Significant part of this programme is being realized in cooperation with partner organizations of the faculty and other experts from practice, which brings a unique benefit in the form of insight into real-life business practice. The topics of these lectures and workshops are always based on current events and trends. Students of the Process Management programme will gain a number of practical experience and skills, primarily through compulsory practice, which takes place in the 3rd year of the study. During the practice, students become part of a organization or company of their own choice, where they are under the professional mentoring of trainers. At the end of the internship, they are evaluated and receive feedback.
The practical level of the study programme also includes solving the real-life business issues, which in the form of projects are assigned to students by representatives of partner organizations. Students consult their projects on an ongoing basis with their mentors and are evaluated for their approach and contribution.

Who is this programme suitable for?

The only condition for the study is a completed secondary education with a high school diploma. The programme aims at everyone who wants to get the most out of a university bachelor’s degree for their future professional career. Unlike the bachelor’s programme Management, which is more theoretically focused, students of the Process Management programme are expected to be more focused, active and willing to strive for the greatest possible personal development. Applicants will include, for example, those who have unique plans and visions for their own projects or start-ups, but need to acquire the necessary managerial know-how to start with. The program is also ideal for those who are purposefully heading for practice, want to obtain a university degree and combine the theory with practice as much as possible.

This programme can only be studied in the full-time form. Full-time study is a traditional form of study in which students attend classes on a daily basis. In the third year of the study, students become part of a partner organization of their own choice, in which they spend 520 hours within the compulsory internship practice, which corresponds to approximately 3 months of full-time job.
