Answering theoretical and practical questions related to the operation of the economy has necessitated increasingly complex approaches in the past decades. Exploring the most important socio-economic problems of our times and providing support to meet all challenges require solutions that presuppose the adoption of knowledge acquired in other fields of science.
The science of economics is capable of developing a fruitful relation with numerous peer sciences. During the development of the research and training structure of the PhD programme, the teaching researchers and institute employees of the Faculty strived to find the most important topics related to fields of sciences that could constitute a starting point for providing answers to current economic issues in the centre of general interest.
The school has two programmes the World Economy and International Finances and Regional Economic Development Research Workshop.
World Economy and International Finances program will be commenced in English for the interest of foreign students who get admission to the Doctoral School. 
Students choose first a program, and within the program they can specialize according to workshops. In the fourth semester students will continue their studies in workshops.
Due to specialisation and optional classes, students can select the subjects and fields of research (workshops) as the training field of their PhD education that best fit their individual research topics and habits.
Within the framework of the offered courses students must accomplish general and workshop-specific courses. In addition, they also have to take part in workshop-research. The aim of the Ph.D. program is to qualify candidates for individual scientific research and make them well-qualified persons with a variety of accomplishments.
