A growing need for knowledge in economics is a feature of an ever-evolving society. The Master's Program in Economics seeks both to broaden the content of the undergraduate program and to provide students with essential tools for continued study of the current and future research literature in economics.
The faculty members teaching and supervising in the Master's Program in Economics have strong standing in the international research community and good connections to authorities and firms. Students completing the Master's Program in Economics may apply to our Ph.D. program. Because some of the Ph.D. courses are in the Master's program, master's students will already have obtained some credits.
