M.Sc. Economics

The Master of Science in Economics teaches students the skills needed to thoroughly analyse economic issues and problems, understand and apply the relevant academic theory, and use the correct formal and empirical methods. This in turn will allow them to find creative approaches to problem solving and predict the political and social consequences of economic activity. Graduates will typically work in leading positions ibn banks, firms, research institutes, syndicates, public administration, or start an academic career. The programme comprises a basic area (48 credits) which provides a sound education in many relevant fields of economics as well as training in soft skills. In the specialisation area (48 credits) students acquire deeper knowledge in a particular field according to their interests. In the master's thesis (24 credits) students demonstrate their ability to apply their knowledge and skills to an economic research question within the field of their specialisation.
