After thorough research, I found that the MBA at FBA VŠE offers the best program in the Czech Republic and is well accredited internationally. The flexible hours also allowed me to properly balance my work with the studies, and succeed at both. I decided to join the MBA to learn about business in depth, boost my career, and grow my network with a diverse group of international, professional colleagues. The lectures are dynamic and rich in content, while the consulting workshops are very engaging, interactive, and fun. Graduating from the MBA allowed me to step-up in my career and move to Mexico. Overall, it was a great experience which I will greatly miss.

Competitive Intelligence Manager
Accenture
I graduated in early 2023. While choosing the MBA program, I primarily considered value for money. MBA at FBA is internationally accredited, the VŠE is also recognized educational institution not only in the Czech Republic. My decision was therefore not difficult.
Even though the study is really intensive, the timetable is designed so that even students with busy schedules can cope with it. During those 2 years I have had the opportunity to observe that the program is not “static”. The faculty makes sure that the program is constantly developing and maintains a high level of quality.
For this reason, the EMBA program is definitely suitable for anyone who is interested in their professional growth. I gained a technical degree and and after years of practice, the MBA program was very beneficial not only for my further career development.

Commercial Director

My goal to study MBA was to better understand how a company works. From my professional experience I knew a lot about sales, supply chains, and logistics and from college I had some theoretical knowledge about finance, marketing, and PR. However, I knew very little about how other departments in companies, beside the ones I had worked in, function. I was not able to learn about it at work, so I decided to gain the knowledge, both theoretical and practical, through an MBA program. I was looking for a program that would take more than a year to finish, because I was convinced that to truly understand the aspects of business, it will take time. Also, I was looking for a program with teachers, lecturers with practical experience from their fields, because pure heory was not what I was looking for in an MBA course. Lastly, I was looking for a credible institution with proved quality over long period of time and through numerous international accreditations. FBA VŠE was able to meet all of my requirements when I was choosing the program, and at the end, it was able to meet all of my expectations when I finished it. I would do it again.

I applied for the Executive MBA program at FBA VŠE in October 2021. I have many years of experience in a managerial position and I wanted to supplement my studies with higher education, as I graduated from high school. I went into the MBA with the expectation of gaining new management skills and networking. I work in an international environment and therefore I wanted to choose MBA program in English. This decision was one of the best as I met classmates from different countries with different backgrounds. The program is very well designed from a theoretical and practical point of view and I have already been able to apply the knowledge in daily retail business. The MBA at FBA VŠE motivates me to think about further studies. I highly recommend it to young managers who want to grow professionally and are not afraid of studying while working.

I have been a student in the Executive MBA program at the Faculty of Business Administration at Prague University of Economics and Business for more than one year and I have to say that the study has exceeded my expectations. One of the reasons why I chose this program was the prestigious international accreditation and developing knowledge in sustainability, the latest trends in financing and strategy, diversification and a global approach to research, innovation and AI. All of which, in my position as a finance manager at a global corporate level, I take full advantage of and have already benefited from the knowledge I have gained.

I have found Executive MBA and FBA VŠE a positive and enriching experience. The program has provided me with valuable insights and skills that have already been useful in the workplace and I believe will help my future career prospects.
The quality of teaching has generally been very good and I have appreciated the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals when it comes to the more hands-on topics. The structure and pace of the courses are good and help fit my studies into an otherwise busy schedule; the courses are demanding, but not impossible even at very busy times.
The program has also allowed me the chance to connect with a diverse group of classmates, including some very smart, experienced and hardworking people, whom I am happy to consider friends as well as co-students, and who have brought a wealth of experiences to the classroom.
Overall, I consider the course a very worthwhile investment, in terms of both the time and monetary costs, and I am confident that the skills, knowledge and personal connections gained will be valuable for the coming years.
