About this programme

Programme Description The Master of Science in International Political Economy is a two-year, interdisciplinary programme combining economic analysis with insights from political science. It provides training in both quantitative and qualitative research methods and equips students to analyse complex real-world issues from an economic perspective. The programme is jointly offered by the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Marburg as a dual degree. Students spend one academic year at each institution and receive degrees from both universities upon successful completion. The programme is designed for graduates with a background in economics or political science (or related fields). Applicants with an economics background are admitted through Marburg, while those with a political science background apply through Dallas. Students develop an advanced understanding of key theories, debates, and recent research in international political economy. They also learn to apply this knowledge to practical problems and to develop feasible, evidence-based solutions. Programme Structure The programme comprises 120 ECTS credits.

Credits earned at both institutions are mutually recognised. Teaching is organised in modules that include required and elective components. Courses cover economics, political science, and r
