The Master of Science in Economics at the Radboud University Nijmegen offers more than just degree in economics: it is `Economics Plus´. Due to our excellent research reputation at home and abroad, we can guarantee that you will be participating in a state-of-the-art programme. You will be exposed to all of the most recent academic and practical developments in the field. Moreover, you will subsequently acquire in-depth knowledge that can be applied in today´s globalized business world, but the main advantage of the Nijmegen programme in Economics is its strong methodological orientation. Education is always up to date with the latest academic developments, providing you with the possibility to develop your research skills, and to participate in academic research on economic developments during your programme in Nijmegen.
If you decide to address contemporary issues in Economics, either from an accounting point of view, or from a financial or international perspective, it is crucial to evaluate societal developments by reflecting on your academic background. The Nijmegen programme in Economics increases your incentive to understand, evaluate and improve economic decision making. In addition, the programme will teach you how to think independently and critically about the way in which economics, accountancy and control can be applied in a professional sense.
Employers are increasingly looking for economists and accounting and control specialists who can tackle a wide variety of economic problems in a professional manner. Economists who have international backgrounds are even more welcome. Our graduates work in a variety of industries. Because our students in Economics specialize in sub-disciplines, their future careers will differ. The main employers of our graduates are central banks, ministries, (investment) banks, international agencies, consulting firms, pension funds, and accounting firms.
