What Faculty of Business administration does

The Faculty of Business Administration (Fakulta podnikohospodářská) is a constituent faculty of Prague University of Economics and Business (Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze), a public Czech university. It serves bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and executive students, and working professionals, through programs in business administration, management, managerial economics, arts management, sustainability management, and international management, including the CEMS Master in International Management. Its portfolio includes the Management and Managerial Economics Ph.D., Doctor of Business Administration, Executive MBA, Honors Academia, and short executive courses; the parent university was established in 1953, while the Faculty became one of its six faculties in the 1990s.

Instruction and administration use InSIS for course registration, grades, and academic administration; Moodle for course materials and online learning; and Microsoft 365 and SharePoint for institutional productivity, intranets, and collaboration. The Faculty also provides an interactive virtual tour for prospective students and does not offer a public or partner-facing API. Its technology profile is operational and service-delivery oriented rather than a proprietary software platform.

Revenue is not treated as a standalone disclosed metric. For doctoral programs, Czech-language study is free, while English-language study is subject to fees, with no amount disclosed. The available information does not provide enrollment, revenue, or parent-level allocations, so a commercial revenue model cannot be established from the data.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• University of St. Gallen (HSG): Top-tier German-speaking public business university with strong CEMS membership. Comparable as a publicly funded research business school with a similar mix of undergraduate, master's, doctoral, and executive programs in the DACH region.
• ESCP Business School: Triple Crown-accredited pan-European business school with multi-campus operations. Comparable in the Triple Crown credential, executive education breadth, and international exchange footprint, though ESCP is private and operates across multiple countries.
• WU Vienna University of Economics and Business: Austria's largest and best-known public business university and the regional heavyweight. Comparable in scope, public funding model, and full spectrum from undergraduate to executive education, but materially larger and with stronger global brand recognition.
• Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University: Triple Crown-accredited European research university business school. Comparable in research intensity, doctoral programs, and international student body, but operates within a larger and globally better-ranked Dutch university.

Direct peers

• Corvinus University of Budapest: Hungary's leading public business and economics university. Directly comparable in mission (public, research-oriented, full business school portfolio), regional positioning (Visegrád markets), and Triple Crown / EQUIS accreditation track.
• Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE): The parent university of the Faculty of Business Administration. VŠE is the parent institution and the most direct peer, operating sibling faculties that compete and collaborate with FPH VŠE for students, faculty, and research funding within the same campus and brand.
• Central European University (CEU): Regional competitor with strong graduate and doctoral programs in business, economics, and public policy. Comparable in Central European positioning, English-language delivery, and research orientation, though CEU is private and Vienna-based.
• SGH Warsaw School of Economics: The leading public business school in Poland and FPH VŠE's closest Central European counterpart. Comparable as a state-funded research university focused on economics, management, and doctoral training, serving a similar Central European student base.

Emerging players

• Edinburgh Business School (Heriot-Watt University): Online-focused business school offering MBA, DBA, and executive programs. Comparable in the doctoral and executive education segments where the Faculty is building English-language DBA delivery, and a relevant benchmark for digital distribution of business credentials.

Regional players

• Mannheim Business School: German Triple Crown-affiliated business school affiliated with the University of Mannheim. Comparable in public-university affiliation, AACSB/EQUIS/AMBA credentials, and executive education focus, though it serves a different (German) primary market.
