About this programme

The Master of Science in International Economic Policy is an internationally-oriented programme that aims at preparing students to apply rigorous theoretical and empirical economic analysis to a wide range of issues relevant for business and public policy. Students who successfully complete this programme will receive a legally accredited Master’s degree in International Economic Policy, which serves as a stepping stone for a professional career in the private or public sector or an academic career. After completing advanced-level courses in the core areas of economics (microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics), students can self-select elective courses in major economic policy areas (e.g. public finance, labour economics, monetary economics, international economics, competition policy), in theoretical fields (e.g. behavioural economics, game theory, contract theory), in research methods (e.g. microeconometrics, computational economics, experimental economics), or in economic journalism. The programme finishes with a policy- or research-oriented seminar, which prepares students for the Master's thesis. In the spirit of its international orientation, the language of instruction is English. Students are encouraged to spend an exchange semester at one of the partner universities abroad and courses taken there are accredited. Furthermore, the programme offers the opportunity to pursue a double degree, which integrates two semesters at the faculty of economics and business
