Career prospects
Possible careers within the private and public sector include employment opportunities in internationally operating companies, various areas of the financial sector, such as commercial banks, insurance companies and stock exchanges, and national and international public institutions.
Contents
The programme is structured so that students first take 15 ECTS from a block of core courses in Economics or Economic History. This is followed by 22.5 ECTS in specialised courses focusing on China’s economy and one elective course (7.5 ECTS) giving students the opportunity to chose one area of specialisation in international economics or economic history. Finally, the students write a 15 ECTS essay where the knowledge they have obtained from their course work will be combined to enable an analysis of a specific problem. Fieldwork in China is organised in collaboration with partner institutions of higher education and can be arranged with multinational companies that cooperate on specific thesis topics.
