Annotation

How can we understand the major economic and societal challenges of our time? The Master’s degree programme in Economics provides in-depth knowledge of modern economics and enables students to analyse complex economic issues in a scientifically sound manner.

The programme focuses on the theoretical and empirical study of economic processes as well as the application of modern quantitative methods. Students explore topics such as labour markets, growth, sustainability, globalisation, health, digitalisation and economic policy decisions and learn to develop data-based solutions to real-world challenges.

The research-oriented degree course combines economic theory with empirical analysis and prepares students for demanding roles in research, policy consulting, public institutions, international organisations, companies and consulting firms. A successfully completed Master’s examination also entitles students to pursue a doctorate and thus paves the way to an academic career.
