Agricultural Economics

Master Academic Studies in Agricultural Economics are aimed at acquiring advanced knowledge and analytical competencies in the fields of agricultural economics, agribusiness, agricultural policy, and rural development. The program enables students to deepen their understanding of economic processes in agriculture and the agri-food sector, as well as to develop the ability to independently make strategic and managerial decisions in complex and dynamic business environments.

The study program integrates modern economic concepts, quantitative and analytical methods, as well as knowledge in the fields of sustainable development, circular economy, European Union agricultural policy, resource management, and the development of agri-food sector competitiveness. Special emphasis is placed on the application of scientific and professional knowledge in solving practical problems in agriculture, agribusiness, and rural areas.

Master’s studies enable students to acquire highly specialized knowledge and competencies required for complex jobs in the fields of agribusiness, public administration, finance, project management, consulting, and scientific research. The program follows modern trends in the development of agriculture and the agri-food sector, with a special focus on digitalization, sustainability, green and circular economy, as well as European integration processes.

Through a combination of theoretical teaching, research work, case studies, and cooperation with the economy and institutions, students develop analytical and critical thinking, as well as the ability to create and implement development strategies and projects.
