The aim of the course is to apply the knowledge of students from already completed economic and legal disciplines in the field of social security in the Czech Republic.

Learning outcomes
Expertise: The student will learn the basic conditions for entitlement to individual social benefits, which are paid from the social security system. Field skills: The student will be able to orientate in the social security benefit system, understand the basic principles of its financing and administration and will be able to use expertise in practice. General competences: The student will gain knowledge and skills that will effectively lead him to the sources of additional knowledge and skills needed for their application and use in practice. The general learning outcome should be the student's ability to think critically and evaluate social reality without media or political distortions.
