applied programs

Professional programs are available for students with different interests and professional backgrounds: existing programs include Master’s in Education, Agriculture, Journalism and Mass Communication and even Military Science. The widest array of programs is available for those who want to study Economics, Business or Management. Some professional programs may require several years of professional experience (usually no more than 5) in order to be admitted to the program. In this case your working experience would be more important for admission decision than your academic achievements.
