Higher education should be made accessible to any applicant
Individual VSEM projects are aimed at the promotion of tertiary education as well as at the popularization of higher education, which is still not widely accessible in the Czech Republic. From a long-term perspective, the existing higher education system favors applicants who have the opportunity to prepare for their studies thanks to their social status.
The existing educational system of the Czech Republic poses a lot of barriers on the path to a higher education degree, representing an overwhelming obstruction. The mission of the project called Study at VSEM! is to contribute to remove barriers to access to education and to promote expert discussions as well as public discourse. College of Economics and Management declares the project Study at VSEM! as open.
The project emphasizes the removal of barriers to access to education by providing support to handicapped students providing them with scholarships, material support, and special attention and approach. VSEM thus strives to lead by example and inspire other providers of educational services in the tertiary sector to adopt similar approach.
The VSEM Rector’s Award is part of the project Study at VSEM! of the College of Economics and Management. The competition is divided into three categories, the first prize being CZK 60,000. The best project / paper will be selected in the remaining categories, always awarding CZK 30,000. Winners of individual categories will be provided with an opportunity to study the MBA programme offered by VSEM for free.
