Students from the Institute of Economic Studies
CERGE-EI runs a special Visiting Master’s scheme (formerly known as the Joint Masters in Economics) jointly with the Institute of Economic Studies (IES) of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, Prague. Students enrolled in Master's program at IES "Economic Theory", "Finance, Financial Markets and Banking", or "Master in Economics and Finance" may apply to visit CERGE-EI.
The scheme combines Master’s level courses at IES with PhD-level courses at CERGE-EI and is designed for strong and highly motivated students. As a result, IES Master’s students visiting CERGE-EI:
- obtain their Master's degree in Economics from IES
- complete the 1st year of PhD coursework at CERGE-EI including General exams, and may proceed to the 2nd year of the CERGE-EI PhD program if they wish
Visiting Master’s take the 1st-year PhD courses at CERGE-EI as equivalents of IES courses and receive credits. For example, CERGE-EI’s PhD course “Macroeconomics I" would be recognized as equivalent to IES’s Masters-level course “Advanced Macroeconomics.” See Program Details section for more information.
