A defining strength of the programme is its balance of analytical rigor and a broader understanding of society. Students learn to work confidently with economic theory and data, while developing the judgement needed to interpret evidence and assess its wider implications. This combination provides a strong foundation for tackling complex economic issues in professional settings or pursuing further academic research.

The Master’s Programme in Economic Analysis is for students who want to look beyond the numbers and gain a rigorous understanding of how economies function and what shapes their development. By integrating economic theory, quantitative methods, and empirical analysis with a broader social-science perspective, the programme helps students explore economic questions through models and data while placing them within their wider institutional, political, and societal contexts.

The programme welcomes graduates of economics and related social-science disciplines, as well as students with backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, finance, and other fields who are interested in applying analytical methods to economic questions. It provides an intellectually stimulating environment in which students can advance their technical skills, sharpen their critical thinking, and gain a deeper understanding of how economic decisions affect societies.

Graduates can find opportunities in economic and policy analysis, consulting, banking and finance, business and market research, public administration, central banks, regulatory institutions, international organizations, and research institutes.

Typical positions include:

•    Economic Analyst
•    Policy Analyst
•    Economist
•    Consultant

•    Researcher

For students interested in an academic or research career, the programme can also provide a strong foundation for doctoral studies.
