About the Program

The two-year Master's programme in Economics trains students to think rigorously and creatively about economic issues. It offers unusual flexibility. There is room for individual specialisation in economics as well as for the pursuit of interdisciplinary interests. Students acquire up-to-date knowledge of economic methods and their application at a high theoretical and empirical level. The programme is suitable for students seeking an advanced analytical and quantitative education. To provide a solid analytical foundation, students have lectures and tutorials in "Intermediate Mathematics for Economics and Management", "Advanced Empirical Economics", "Advanced Microeconomics" and Advanced Macroeconomics" during the first year. These are complemented by a wide choice of specialised courses. The latter focus either on additional methods and models of empirical economics, microeconomics and macroeconomics, or on a specific applied area such as international trade, labour markets, economic development, education and family economics, finance, governance, competition, the public sector, health, etc. Students also enjoy the freedom of creating an individual focus area. Within this individual focus area, they can earn credits with disciplinary and interdisciplinary lectures and seminars, an internship, or language courses. In the fourth semester, they write their Master's thesis, demonstrating their ability to carry out independent academic work in a specific area of economics.
