This one-year master’s program equips students with contemporary methods for analyzing large datasets within economic contexts. As algorithms increasingly shape corporate and governmental decisions, the ability to process information critically becomes essential.

Graduates emerge prepared for doctoral research, positions at research institutes, or roles in the private sector where such expertise commands high value.

Economics and International Finance

The program bridges theoretical analysis with international financial market practice. Students receive foundational training in micro- and macroeconomics, econometrics, and research methods before specializing in international financial economics and engaging with current scholarly debates. By completion, they can navigate academic publications, construct theoretical models, and conduct empirical research. The acquired competencies include analytical thinking, statistical software proficiency, and both written and oral communication skills that prove valuable across professional contexts.

Economics and Sustainable Development

This undergraduate degree examines economic models through the lens of sustainability, with students analyzing climate change, biodiversity, and gender equality using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Accredited by the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, it confirms professional-level preparation. The first year covers the three pillars—economic, environmental, and social—while the final course culminates in a dissertation. This combination of economic methods with global concerns prepares graduates for work spanning business, policy, and civic initiatives.

This degree unites two disciplines that reinforce each other, preparing students for careers in consulting, finance, public service, or international management.
