Location of Goethe University Frankfurt Am Main
The study program is set up to provide participants with the economic background to perform strongly in today's global economy. It is designed as a consecutive program with typical enrolment after a bachelor's degree in economics or business, but students with first work experience are also highly welcome.
We want to empower our graduates to quickly look through complex problems in public policy and business by using up-to-date economic theory and state-of-the-art econometrics. Rather than simply replicating the first two years of a PhD program, the master's program is specially designed to combine academic rigor with a focus on topical issues faced by policy-makers and administrators. These program features make us highly confident of attracting highly promising students with a genuine interest in public policy issues and with a strong interest in a career in an international environment.
Contents
This four-semester consecutive program with a total of 120 credit points is structured in a modular fashion with several core courses in the first semester and a choice of elective courses in the second and third semesters. The fourth semester is more research-oriented and includes the writing of the master's thesis. For students who adhere to the study plan, there are no more lecture courses in this fourth semester and full-time residence in Frankfurt is not essential.
