2/ Form of teaching: The course is taught offline. Teachers reserve the right to change the form of teaching (mainly because of the epidemiological situation) – in case of this kind of changes, teachers will inform student as soon as possible. 3/ Students registered as students with special needs are kindly asked to contact the teacher (preferably) before the start of the course. 4/The course will introduce students to the economic approaches to the analysis of contemporary societies. The course is divided into four modules: two of which are based on (i) the “general” epistemologies utilised in description of “the” ontology of contemporary economic systems and (ii) macroeconomic approaches, from which (iii) the third module – focusing on various theoretical and empirical applications – follows and (iv) the last focuses on the connection between public finance and public health services. In the first and second, students will be provided with an overview of selected economic schools, key concepts, the main differences among them. In the third, the theoretical framework will be applied to the contemporary societies. Students will become familiar with selected monetary and regulatory policies, government fiscal policies and banking sector’s economic aims, and will be provided with critical assessment of their advantages and disadvantages. In the last module, the focus is given on the part of national economy usually referred to as the Public Sector and selected health policy implications are studied. |

Students´ requirements and obligations: In order to successfully pass the course, students will be required to fulfil two conditions. First, throughout the curse, a selection of papers and chapters of various monographies stemming from the covered economic theories will be analysed and discussed. Each student – either alone or in pairs – will pick an individual theme from the selection, study it and prepare a “presentation” for the rest of the class, on which a class-wide discussion will follow. Whereas the rest of the class will be required to be “acquainted” with individual themes, the presenting student(s) will be required to exhibit in-depth knowledge so as to answer any questions and/or ambiguities. Second, each student will develop a semestral thesis according to his or her selected theme and apply it to a contemporary economic setting of his or her choice. The thesis must be developed using not only the materials provided during the course but students will also be required to be able to find and assimilate additional strings of relevant literature.
Final Evaluation: Students will be classified according to their participation and degree of preparedness in individual lectures and knowledge of individual themes. However, the emphasis will be put particularly on the quality of the submitted semestral thesis as well as of the “presentation” itself.
