This study programme provides the specialized knowledge and skills necessary to work in organizations in which the primary objective is not profit. In order for the public sector to function well, it is essential to manage even non-governmental non-profit organizations efficiently and rationally. Such organizations help raise the quality of the civil society and they assist significantly in each citizen’s self-fulfilment for the benefit of the public and mutually beneficial activities. Therefore, the Faculty of Economics and Administration has offered a specific study programme focused on the economy and management of non-governmental non-profit organizations since 2001. The study is designed for all applicants who have already been working in such organizations, who are interested in their activities, or who have been in contact with the activities of these organizations.
