Why pursue a PhD at VŠE?
Pursuing a PhD at VŠE means becoming part of a respected and internationally recognized university that helps shape the direction of economics and management.
My PhD has given me the opportunity to meet fascinating people and to engage deeply with questions that truly mattered to me. It taught me humility — I began to see how complex things really are, even where I once thought I had clear answers.
