The qualification holder will be able to:

  • demonstrate understanding of the priority developmental problems and dilemmas of today's world, with an emphasis on critical sociological, socioeconomic, historical anthropological, culturological, scientific, technical and environmental analysis of the prevailing economic development models,
  • demonstrate understanding of positive and negative development patterns, trends and results through observation of development events that are often narrowed down simply to economic approaches and interpretations,
  • approach phenomena and problems from several angles – top-down (the macro level), bottom-up (the micro level), intermediate (the mesoscopic level) or combined – via analysis of empirical material on practices or via empirical material on mentalities, etc.,
  • supplement their own general knowledge and understanding of the divergences in present-day development, with an emphasis on economic, environmental, historical anthropological or political aspects, depending on their interest and on the field they are working in or intend to work in.

Examination performance is graded as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).
