The three most popular taught master degrees are offered: MBA, MSc in Economics and MSc in Finance.
For research minded candidates with a strong background in economics or finance, MSc by Research programme is available. This programme allows students to skip the taught part and get a MSc degree by conducting a supervised research project.
All programmes can be started in October or March and be completed in one year by studying full-time or in two years by studying part-time without career interruption.
All our master degrees are validated by the University of Buckingham. This means that, besides a degree from Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, students also get a degree from the University of Buckingham.

The taught MSc programmes have two components:
The MSc by Research programme is significantly different than the above described taught programme. It does not have the taught component - this means there are no regular classes, no pre-specified list of compulsory modules and no exams.
In other words, MSc by Research has only one component: the research component. Students are assigned supervisors on the first day of the programme and all activities are focused on the supporting students to undertake quality research.
The programme is designed for self-motivated students primarily interested in research and an excellent stepping-stone for doctoral studies.
Instead of the taught modules, the core activities in the programme are:
The research project results in a research paper (a thesis) not exceeding 100 pages of double-spaced typescript. A research paper or thesis is supposed to demonstrate a student's systematic understanding of the chosen research subject and ability to conduct a sophisticated analysis which is at the forefront of the academic discipline.

The MSc by Research programme enables candidates to focus on a range of specialized topics within finance and economics. Initially, the candidates can register for MSc in Finance or MSc in Economics and choose a topic within any of the research areas specified below.
