The standard duration of studies is six semesters. For admittance to the final state examination, students must earn a total of 180 ECTS credits for type A/required, type B/selective, and type C/elective courses. Type A/required courses constitute the basis of the discipline and their share is the largest part of credits (including credits for courses focused on writing a Bachelor’s thesis). Students choose type B/selective courses according to their interests and intended professional specialization. The remaining credits can be earned from type C/elective courses offered in the curriculum of the given study programme or from other courses offered by any other study programme. The total minimum number of credits is defined by the study and examination regulations of Masaryk University, the guidance note about the general study requirements, and the current study catalogue. Students can access the study catalogues through the faculty website.

The final state examination has three parts: the Bachelor’s thesis defence, an examination in a special subject, and an examination in Economics. The examination lasts about 60 minutes, with the thesis defence occupying the first half. The student presents the Bachelor’s thesis, then they are read the opinions of the supervisor and the opponent, everything closes with answering the questions raised by those opinions and a general debate of the Bachelor’s thesis with committee members. The Bachelor’s thesis usually has two basic parts: theoretical, representing special outcomes; and practical, solving managerial problem defined in a concrete company. Within the bounds of the Bachelor’s thesis, the student demonstrates the ability to write a coherent academic text, including the ability to find, analyse, and propose concrete solutions to a practical and specific problem of real company or organization.

Within the bounds of the final state examination of a specialized subject, the student draws a selected question on the topic of Management and one from Corporate Economics.
