Institute of Finance

The Institute of Finance is one of the largest institutes operating at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology, both in terms of the number of departments that form it and the number of employees, as well as students studying in the fields under the Institute's care.

Contemporary challenges of finance in areas such as the state's financial policy, stability of the financial system, consumer protection in the financial services market, cybersecurity, the use of modern technology, including artificial intelligence, sustainable finance, ethical aspects in finance, or problems of the functioning of the public sector, influence the directions of development of financial science.
