CERGE-EI invites talented students to apply to its internationally recognized economics programs, offering rigorous academic training, strong research opportunities, and excellent career prospects.

The fully funded PhD in Economics prepares outstanding scholars through demanding coursework and original research under close faculty mentorship. Students benefit from competitive stipends, access to world-class research, and opportunities for international research stays. Graduates build prestigious careers at leading universities, central banks, international organizations, and in the private sector.

The Master in Economic Research is a two-year, full-time Charles University program taught in Prague. It combines economics, data science, and public policy, with a strong focus on practical skills such as coding, data analysis, and professional communication. The small-scale program offers individual student support, financial aid options, and excellent career prospects in government, NGOs, and consulting.

CERGE-EI has also launched a new Bachelor’s program in Economics of Markets and Organizations, offered in cooperation with the Faculty of Business Administration of the Prague University of Economics and Business. The program responds to current challenges such as market concentration and changing economic environments and emphasizes quantitative analysis, real-world case studies, and interdisciplinary learning. Courses are taught jointly by CERGE-EI and the Prague University of Economics and Business.

Celebrating nearly 35 years of excellence, CERGE-EI has built a truly international academic community with graduates working in more than 40 countries worldwide. As the institute looks to the future, it continues to expand its educational portfolio, strengthen its global research connections, and shape the next generation of economists.
