What it is

You learn microeconomics, macroeconomics, mathematical economics, mathematical statistics and finance, with game theory, political economy and the history of economic thought alongside. Teachers include academics as well as professionals from the central bank, commercial banks and business analysis. Electives let you lean toward finance and banking, economic policy, strategic management, international trade or European economic integration. Graduates go into banking, consulting, investment funds and public administration, and many continue to master's programmes in economics, corporate finance or data analysis.

What you need

  • No entrance exam. Your IB Maths result (AA or AI, SL or HL) earns up to 45 of 100 points and your English up to 45.
