The programme combines a solid foundation in economics and economic methodology with insights from different academic fields. It is based around small lectures and tutorial classes, an ideal environment for promoting peer interaction and ensuring you get the most from our high-quality academic staff. The elective courses give you the opportunity to tailor your programme to your own interests and explore specific economic issues in more depth.

This programme trains you to become a research economist who is able to look at economic problems not only from an economic perspective, but also from the perspective of other scientific disciplines. While firmly grounded in scientific research, training takes care to keep a real-world perspective and maintains links to policy-oriented research. For this reason, our alumni are able to pursue careers in academia, the government and the private sector.
