The Master´s degree programme in International Economics and Business (IE&B) is a high-quality programme that prepares students for an international career in the private or public sectors. Students study a wide range of interesting topics at an advanced level, ranging from international trade and investment to the consequences of globalization for strategic decision-making in multinational enterprises, and the socio-economic and institutional differences between countries.
The combination of topics in the field of international business and international economics, as well as the attention paid to the links between both fields, makes this programme unique.
