MBA STUDY - FOCUSED ON YOUR PRACTICE

The only MBA program in the Czech Republic under the auspices of the British Chamber of Commerce will enable you to take your company and yourself to a new level of success. Our MBA program offers much more than just a degree – it provides invaluable experience, practical skills, and essential knowledge that will influence your personal and professional development. Get ready for the future.

What sets us apart? Small study groups with a maximum of 10 participants create an intensive and interactive environment for sharing experiences, ideas, and perspectives. This format allows for deep concentration on each individual and their needs.

Another distinguishing feature is our practical approach. Throughout their studies, students are not just passive listeners – they work on their own projects, which are set directly in a real-world environment. This combination of theory and practice is the key to immediately applying your newly acquired skills in your work. Students work on their own projects throughout their studies.

Joining our program will not only advance your knowledge of strategy, management, innovation, and the use of artificial intelligence, but also allow you to make valuable professional contacts. This network of connections with other business owners and directors who will learn and grow with you can lead to future collaborations and other opportunities.

Now is the time to decide to invest in your own development and the future of your company. Be inspired, learn from practitioners who are renowned in their fields, and bring new energy and perspective to your business.

What will you gain by studying for an MBA with us? Experience and knowledge, the ability to look at your company from different perspectives, contacts, and self-confidence. Throughout your studies, you will work on your own project, which you will use in your practice. Upon formal completion, you will be awarded the professional title of MBA (Master of Business Administration).

WHO CAN BECOME OUR STUDENT

You realize that managers work with people. You understand that management is not exclusively a technical discipline, but also an art. You want to learn more not only about management practices, but also about how to use these practices sensitively in your practice with regard to your team, your vision, and your chosen strategy.

You value honest education. You want to work meaningfully on fine-tuning your management style with the support of top experts with proven results in their fields. You enjoy sharing knowledge and experience with others. You appreciate the benefits of personal meetings with other managers and are willing to look at your practice from different angles. That is why, instead of reading scripts, you are attracted to sharing good practices, discussing with colleagues and lecturers, and fine-tuning your personal management style.

Teaching is conducted in English in a combined form – i.e., participation in workshops (1 weekend per month), consultations, and independent work. The teaching team consists exclusively of professionals with proven experience of at least 15 years in their field. You cannot buy a degree from us; you must earn it through study.

COURSE OF STUDY

Study meetings in Pardubice are held once a month over two days. They take the form of lectures/workshops/training sessions spread over 16 months. The aim is to acquire practical skills that students will be able to immediately apply in practice, develop advanced managerial thinking, the ability to contribute creatively/in new ways to solving existing situations in students' practice, and participate in the development of a chosen area based on creative and ethical principles.

PROGRESSIVE WORK AND FINAL MBA EXAM

We are practitioners. From selected modules, students will prepare a credit-bearing thesis focused on their specific practice. The lecturer will then provide feedback with an emphasis on good ideas, insights, and possible risks. At the end of their studies, students will prepare a final thesis (the topic is chosen by the student and approved by the study board). In it, students must demonstrate not only their knowledge in the field, but also their ability to think in context and their readiness to defend the results of their work before a professional examination committee.

After successful defense, students will be awarded the professional title of Master of Business Administration (MBA).

Lecturers

Ing. Marian Kováč, MS
I have bought and sold companies for clients, collected debts for banks, and executed the first rating and bond issuance for the Slovak Central Bank after the revolution. I am a banker, a consultant, a corporate contrarian, and an enthusiast of behavioral science. I strive to inspire leaders to bring "a piece of humanity" back into business, because behind the numbers are people. I will share with you the latest academic insights and my own experiences (including failures) gained on the journey toward making better decisions. Because I firmly believe that who we are is not determined by our abilities, but by our choices.
Ing. Petr Janda, MBA
Petr Janda is among the top 30 personalities in the field of management. He is known for innovative managerial approaches. Throughout his professional life, he has been searching for the "holy grail" of management and has gained many interesting experiences on this path. Are you interested in whether he found it? And what does managerial effectiveness really mean and how to achieve it?
Ing. Gabriela Kahounová
Are you interested in how and where to look for quality people and how to verify their abilities? How to attract the best people on the market and build professional teams considering your goals, strategy, etc. What must top management cope with in light of the current situation and how? I gathered experience for almost 12 years as HR Director at DHL and I am still actively engaged in this field at an international level. I would be very happy to share my experiences with you.

Bc. Pavel Strnádek, AA.
After studying in the USA and a short teaching engagement, I went through a series of positions from executive to international managerial roles, primarily in the financial segment—both in banking and the non-banking financial sector. In each of them, I gained many valuable experiences that helped me, especially in establishing new activities abroad, as well as in the subsequent management of the companies themselves. Theoretical rules are nice, but personal experience is the best—whether you are a trainer or a course participant.
Jana Klekar, BA (hons)
My goal is to inspire others to be the best versions of themselves. I believe that everyone can achieve professional and personal goals while maintaining a healthy, fulfilling, and balanced life. I am a professional with over 18 years of experience in several divisions across various countries and the business sector.
