What it is

The core courses cover economics and applied economics, public finance and economic history, business, mathematics and statistics, and law, so that you can analyse how economic systems and financial markets work with theoretical and empirical tools. Econometrics and statistics build the skills to model economic and financial phenomena and to judge public policy, with attention to growth, development, governance and regulation. Teaching includes seminars, labs and internships, and elective exams let you shape your own path. Graduates work as international economic analysts in international organisations, companies, research centres, public administration and the non-profit sector.

What you need

  • SAT 960+ or CEnT-S for pre-selection; a strong maths background is expected.
