What will you learn?
How to choose the right data? Why more data does not automatically mean more information? How to collect data and how to work with it? What is included in data analysis and data visualization and how to interpret the results correctly? Our professors and professionals will provide you not only with the theoretical knowledge of statistical methods and their application, but you will also learn how to work effectively with data and results analysis.
What is economic modelling? Which quantitative methods are most often used in economic analysis? How to exploit socioeconomic indicators and how we can use economic models? Our professors will provide you with advanced quantitative methods, econometric models, and economic theory. As a result, you will learn how to empirically verify and correctly interpret economic theories.
Our program not only provides in-depth theoretical knowledge, but also emphasizes the practical skills needed in the real world. Our university combines theory with practice through a great team of professionals who will guide you every step of your academic journey. And that's not all - what really sets us apart is our close partnerships with major companies. These partners share their wealth of experience and perspectives, opening a unique window into real business.
What we offer
We provide interactive online books and courses to make studying more effective. In a well-organized way the books explain the subjects that are taught during the lectures. The course work is supplemented by special programming tasks and exercises. In each course you will validate what you have learned through interactive lessons that include knowledge cards and test questions.
We make use of modern methods with the active participation of students. During the study program, through a series of seminars and multi-day hackathons, you will tackle many complex practical tasks which you will solve in teams with your colleagues. Throughout this process your work will be supervised by professionals and professors from the Unicorn University.
In cooperation with experts from the Czech Statistical Office we organize data hackathons where you can try data processing, data analysis, and data interpretation. You will participate in teams under the supervision of our professors.
AI won't take your job. But someone who knows how to work with it may have an advantage. That's why you'll learn to use AI as a practical tool throughout your studies – from giving it the right instructions and using it effectively to reviewing and verifying its outputs. We don't teach you to let AI think for you. We teach you to understand your field well enough to recognize when AI is helping you and when it's wrong.
During your studies you will participate in a half-year internship with one of our partner companies and institutions. You can experience your internship within respected organizations such as KPMG, Czech Statistical Office or Microsoft (here is a complete list of our partners). This opportunity will provide you with valuable practical experience and will look great on your curriculum vitae!
Be careful the Master's degree is only available in Czech. In English You can study the Bachelor's degree in Software Development or Business Management.
Students develop communication skills, learn to solve problems together, and gain valuable real-world experience. Teamwork prepares them for professional life, strengthens responsibility, and the ability to work with diverse individuals.
