Introduction
International Economic and Political Studies (IEPS) is a postgraduate degree, taught exclusively in English, modeled on the Oxford-style PPE interdisciplinary degrees combining the study of economics (including finance), politics (including international relations), and philosophy (including ethics and argumentation skills). The growing popularity of the PPE-family degrees is due to the spectacular success of its graduates in the corporate sector, politics, state administration, journalism, NGOs, and other high-end areas of the labor market across the world.
With such leadership positions in mind, IEPS aims at developing practical skills underpinned by the sound theory that is necessary for the analysis of complex problems, creative problem-solving, and management of diverse international groups of people, which in turn presupposes convincing argumentation, persuasion, and communication skills, combined with ethical corporate social responsibility for the globalizing world, which we all share.

Program Outcome
Masters graduates are qualified to undertake advanced-level analysis of socio-political decision-making in the interface between economics and politics where the common methodological base for multicriterial evaluation of quantitative and qualitative interdependences between the studied objects is the multidisciplinary synthesis related to philosophy, ethics, and history.
The courses in the program are constructed in line with the graduate programs in the top universities in Europe and their programs of PPE. The modular character of the selection of courses allows students a personal specialization, i.e. closer targetting of professional areas, in which dominated economic problems (especially the quantitative economic analysis) or problem of politics, international relations, and security.
Career Opportunities
A graduate of IEPS should be able to analyze, using his/her acquired knowledge and competencies, the dynamics of global changes in socio-political and economic relations in current economic, political and social development. Their theoretical basis should allow for independent research of economic and political issues in the international environment, including critical analysis and recommendation of policies for improvements in the given public or private sectors. Graduates will be prepared to work in banking and financial businesses, state administration, political parties, international institutions, or in the private sector, for instance as managers or consultants in multinational corporations.
