"The
MBA program - Energy Economics really does encompass all the aspects of the
energy sector. Personally I have a project finance background which I managed
to blend well with the knowledge received during the studies. The
lectures/workshops transfer the knowledge really well, the topics are well
structured and backed by facts. I strongly believe that anyone, whatever their
background, can easily tune in the studies because the lecturers, especially
the introductory courses, explain the content in a way that is familiar to
anyone. The classes are always in tune with current global events and often
natural discussions happen during the lectures and the lecturers manage the
discussions excellently, making sure that the message is transferred across
clearly. I fully recommend the MBA Energy Economics program where the
professional growth is practically guaranteed."

"An
ideal place to connect economics and energy, theory and practice, learning and
socializing.In addition to the exceptionally
professional approach from the heads of the MBA program, there is a great
number of energy sector experts as guest speakers who pass their knowledge and
experiences to the participants through engaging activities in a pleasant
working / social atmosphere.Lectures take place in a
pleasant interactive atmosphere, topics are always tailored to current global
as well as local events.As part of the study program,
there are also visits to energy institutions, plants and project sites as well
as informal gatherings which I consider to be extremely important because of
the networking of students from different generations and sectors as well as
the exchange of ideas and experiences.I would recommend the
study to others in order to improve their knowledge and skills and to gain a
global perspective and insight into their position in the energy chain."

motivation to start studying again was this interesting concept of the

"MBA programme - Energy Economics, opened for me new perspectives on energy sector through the lenses of economics. I am leading a company whose primary activity is distribution and supply of electrical energy in Slavonia and Baranja region. The programme has helped me a lot in piecing together a larger picture of energy industry in our region, Europe and the world as a whole. Current development of global economy is impossible without energy sector development, smart and interconnected electrical lines, gas and oil corridors and new production capacities which support these. Lectures and workshops are dynamic, interactive and interesting. Relaxed atmosphere, free and open communication during classes allows the students to participate in lectures and express their views and experiences. I recommend this MBA programme for all those who would like to learn how the energy sector works through the eyes of economists, finance people and managers."
