About the Program

This consecutive, research-oriented Master's programme in Economics is designed for students with a solid academic background in Economics or related disciplines. Over the course of four semesters, students receive rigorous training in economic theory and quantitative methods while enjoying the flexibility to tailor their studies to personal interests and career goals. The program offers a modern education characterized by the combination of theoretical knowledge with current global challenges. In the first year, students take four core subjects (microeconomics, macroeconomics, regulation and empirical methods), followed by elective modules allowing for specialization in areas such as Energy and Environmental Economics or Finance. The module devoted to project-centred learning enables students to gain hands-on experience of academic work, culminating in a master thesis. Graduates are well-prepared for international careers in the private sector, government ministries, and international organisations, or for pursuing a PhD or an academic career.
