Graduates
Since the very beginning, the IES focuses at talented students capable of highly abstract and analytical thinking. The emphasis on abstract thinking and instrumental mathematical knowledge is a key difference between the IES and comparable schools in the region. The students begin with the Bachelor degree, advance to the Master degree, and often pursue also Doctoral (PhD) studies. The lists of Master theses and Doctoral disertations are available in the right-hand menu.
Graduates are strong in analytical rather than managerial knowledge and capabilities, and in the ability to individually solve problems in various environments. With flexible and top-level education, the IES graduates are largely demanded in business, government and also academia. Many of our graduates work with leading companies in the region or even worldwide. The graduates are members of he Alumni association, which organises social events, supports the Institute, and serves as a valuable network.
