Business Management: studies – why is it worth it?

Studying management allows students to acquire interdisciplinary business knowledge and a range of practical skills and competences. In order to gain a competitive advantage, however, further in-depth training within a specific educational path is essential. Studies in management of small and medium-sized enterprises offer an opportunity to develop skills in interpretation of economic phenomena or financial analysis of a company under the guidance of experts-practitioners. It is also an opportunity to acquire a range of soft skills, such as communication or leadership skills.

By studying business management, you will learn to:

understand the mechanisms occurring in the economy

Business communication and public speaking – management is largely based on contact with people.

By choosing business management studies, you will learn the principles of good communication, presentation and public speaking, both offline and online.

Analytics – one of the most important tools used by managers at all levels of management.

During your studies at UCTE you will not only learn how to process data effectively, but also how to see the relationships between them, allowing you to forecast possible business scenarios.
