Location of Aalto University School of Economics
Studying Economics develops analytical thinking and academic insights in addition to promoting the ability to apply economic theory to a wide range of economic phenomena. It qualifies students to understand both the connection and causality between micro- and macroeconomic questions. The HSE program in Economics equips students with appropriate econometric and mathematical tools of analysis to tackle economic issues and problems. A long-term cooperative arrangement between the Departments of Economics at the Helsinki School of Economics and the University of Helsinki allows students to take lecture courses at both departments.
The program is particularly strong in the areas of International Economics, Financial Economics, and Applied Microeconomics. HSE economics graduates are prominent in a wide variety of careers that require broad economic expertise and analytical skills such as economists, specialists, analysts, or consultants in firms, financial sector, research institutes, public administration, and international organizations.
