Economy

Doctoral study program Economics  (DAS Economy)  is the completion of the economic education vertical. The program is modeled on relevant doctoral programs in Europe.DAS Economy  aims to educate personnel for independent research work, enables doctoral students to build on previously acquired knowledge and master the methodology of scientific research work in the field they choose through the subjects and topic of the doctoral dissertation.

Scientific research and technological development of the state is connected with research activities in the public and private sector.DAS Economy  develops their interdependence, which is one of the prerequisites for the propulsive development of the economy. National strategic development priorities should be based on competitive scientific research and the creation of conditions for the development of a knowledge-based society, which requires a complex connection of professional knowledge with modern scientific knowledge.

DAS Economy  includes advanced knowledge of economics, individual economic areas, economic sectors and groups, as well as advanced quantitative-statistical methods, which together will enable the application of the methodology of economic and entrepreneurial thought in the complex analysis of modern problems in the economy and society and finding innovative solutions to overcome them.

Purpose of the study program:  The purpose  DAS Economy  is a contribution to the development of economic science and the education of personnel who will be able to critically evaluate research work, independently conduct original and scientifically relevant research and, as future doctors of economic sciences, provide a quality contribution to the general development of society.

The purpose  DAS Economy  is the training of students to master the methodology of scientific and research work through cooperation with teachers on each subject of study individually. Through all phases of scientific and research work, students, based on consultations with subject teachers and mentors, apply adequate methodology in the field of economic sciences, where they are trained to use modern methods and models, econometric analyzes and the use of other scientific and research techniques (surveys, surveys and other research, statistical data processing, etc.).

Special contribution  DAS Economy  is to support the development of students' critical thinking, so that, through deepening and enriching their overall theoretical, methodological and applied knowledge, they become capable of critical evaluation of scientific research, and for critical complementary use of scientific knowledge and instruments in the processes of scientifically argued and practically valid research.

Using various resources for learning and managing information, students are trained to independently and self-critically perform research tasks. The purpose  DAS Economy  is to contribute to the overall economic and social prosperity of the country through the creation of scientific and research youth.

With the ending  DAS Economy  the necessary knowledge and skills for independent scientific and research work are acquired, and the study program provides participants with deeper theoretical knowledge of economic development, connection with other scientific fields, critical thinking and judgment, as well as the ability to define relevant research problems. Also, students are provided with the use of the most modern research methods, tools and procedures.

The purpose  DAS Economy  is aligned with the mission and goals of the University, as well as with the goals of higher education in accordance with the Law on Higher Education.

Objectives of the study program  DAS Economy  are defined in accordance with the modern directions of the development of economic science, as well as with the principles of designing third-level studies in the domestic and international framework.

Objectives of the study program  DAS Economy:

• Acquiring an advanced level of knowledge and developing the ability to independently conduct scientific research in the field of economic sciences;
• Training doctoral students to independently carry out scientifically based, relevant and original research and improve synthesized knowledge in a wide range of disciplines that belong to or are complementary to the field of economics, while respecting the principles of the code of ethics and good scientific practice;
• Training of doctoral students for the application of modern methodological procedures in their scientific and research work;
• Development of academic skills and competencies of doctoral students in order to analyze complex scientific research results;
• Affirmation of the doctoral student's critical opinion in the direction of qualitative improvement of economic theory and practice;
• Enabling doctoral students to adequately respond to complex challenges and problems in economic science, thanks to the acquired knowledge in the field of scientific research methodology,
• Application of modern methods and models of solving economic problems that will enable them to participate in solving recessionary trends in the global market;
• Training doctoral students for independent research, preparation, public presentation and scientifically argued defense of the results of scientific research;
• Developing academic competencies and participating in domestic and international scientific research projects;
• Training of doctoral students for the preparation and publication of scientific papers and argumentative interpretation of scientific results;
• Training of doctoral students to independently conduct original, scientifically based research after completing their studies and to critically evaluate the results of the research of other scientific workers, as well as to prepare young staff in a high-quality way for the teaching process at economic faculties

Implementation of scientific achievements in the education process

The key outcome of the study process in the study program of doctoral academic studies  DAS Economy  is the formation of an academic personality, with high professional and scientific competences in the field of economics, who possesses excellent theoretical and practical knowledge needed for critical analysis and research in the fundamental and applied areas of economic sciences with the purpose of expanding and redefining existing knowledge. A significant outcome of this study program is the formation of the doctoral student's ability to apply advanced and specialized skills and techniques needed to solve key problems in research and to expand and redefine the existing knowledge in the field of economics, and the ability of the doctoral student to apply the skills of critical observation of economic theories, methodologies and conclusions; presentation of research results in the country and abroad; building the student's ability to develop new economic methods, techniques, instruments, economic procedures, skills relevant to the field of economics. A special outcome  DAS Economy  is the ability of the doctoral student to independently evaluate modern results and achievements in the field of economics in order to improve existing and create new economic models, concepts, ideas and economic theories, and the formation of the ability of the doctoral student to demonstrate innovation, scientific and professional integrity and commitment to the development of new economic ideas, principles and theories that are at the center of economic science, as well as to independently design, analyze and implement research that makes a significant and original contribution to practice in this area. No less important outcome of this study program is the ability of the doctoral student to manage interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects and to independently initiate national and international cooperation in the field of economic sciences.

The outcome of the doctoral student's learning process is: deepened and expanded theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge, especially in those areas in which scientific research will be carried out, and his ability to produce a quality doctoral dissertation through independent scientific and research work in the field of economics.
