Institute of Economics

Institute of Economics (abb. IE) was re-created as an independent, economics-education oriented department in 2014, and originally provided education in field of Applied Economics at the bachelor level only. The Institute naturally progressed to expand its coverage to include master study program in ‘Applied Economics’ in 2015, within the study branch Quantitative methods in Economics. Over the last decade, the Institute cooperated with the Department of International Relations on a doctoral program ‘Political Science’, offering courses in a separate sub-field of Applied Economics. In recognition of the quality of the Institute's education and research, it was granted full accreditation for the doctoral program in Economics in 2025. This new doctoral program is also offered jointly with the Institute of Economic Research of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The Institute provides an uniquely structured studies (a blend of economic theory, quantitative modelling, and economic practice) at all three levels of specialized education in Economics at the largest and oldest university in Slovakia – Comenius University Bratislava.
