In the double degree master’s with the University of Göttingen (Germany), you will obtain specialized knowledge of international markets and the global interconnections between national economies. You will learn to apply the tools of modern economic analysis to issues of development policy and to communicate effectively with researchers, policymakers and practitioners on development issues.

In Groningen, you follow the MSc Economic Development and Globalization. Here, you will learn about societally relevant topics and how they are related to the world of economics. You will also gain valuable skills in international trade, international finance and banking, policy analysis, and more. Also, you learn to analyze economic data, assess policy options, make economic development strategies, and provide recommendations to policymakers. In Göttingen, you will benefit from the expertise of researchers regarding microeconomic aspects of development. You will be trained in applying quantitative research methods that are specifically suitable to study these aspects in a systematic way.

By following the programmes in Göttingen and Groningen, you will graduate with a strong international profile and a deep analytical understanding of global economic policy and business organizations.

Waarom aan de University of Groningen?

Explore the ethical dilemmas and consequences associated with economic development and globalization, including issues related to sustainability, social justice, and human rights. You will address global challenges and topics that are related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and work towards solutions to make a positive change.
  • Our alumni have the opportunity to engage in high-level research activities of international organizations (such as the OECD in Paris, Conference Board in New York, and the ILO in Geneva) and national organizations (such as the Dutch Central Bank and The Netherlands' Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis).
