What it is

The first two years build the foundations in mathematics, statistics, microeconomics and macroeconomics, and the last two give you wide freedom in electives, including three optional intensification paths: microeconomics, macroeconomics, or quantitative techniques and applied economics. External internships are available through the university's company network, a bachelor thesis is required, and teaching is offered in both Spanish and English with exchanges through Erasmus. Faculty research feeds into the teaching. Graduates work in economic consulting, financial analysis, risk assessment, public administration and international organisations.

What you need

  • Taught in Spanish and English groups; choose the English group at enrolment. UC3M may ask for Spanish B2 for a Spanish-taught or bilingual degree.
