Why study Office Management?

Study programme Office Management is an interdisciplinary field designed to respond to the challenges of frequent legal reforms and entrepreneurial society. It intensifies the competences of the bachelor of economics for operational management in office business. Observing the office as a place where managers, professional workers, secretaries or office staff collaborate, the jobs they perform most often belong to one of these job groups: decision-making, data management, document management, communication and filing.

The distinguished feature of this study is that it imparts general knowledge of economy and also masters the skills needed for day-to-day business operations. This study puts emphasis not only on economy, but also on law-related courses (especially those associated with public governance, which is the reason why many governance officers choose this study programme), as well as on information and communications technologies (working in Microsoft and Apple environment, understanding and utilizing web-technologies) and on the basics of project management. All these areas are carefully planned and organized in such a way that students gradually form their interdisciplinary basis of professional knowledge in the field of economy. Students are taught to perceive future business challenges as opportunities to prove their competences, and also to resolve conflicts and work in a team. They adopt principles of project thinking, proactive approach to problem solving and continuous learning, with the aim to produce the results which exceed expectations, and to foster trustworthiness, consistency and devotion to work and personal development.
