Institutions play a major role in our economy. Learning how the economy works and how it can be governed requires an understanding of economic institutions. The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Economics and Institutions programme provides rigorous training in all major fields of economics, employing modern theoretical and empirical methods. Completion of the programme will prepare you for a career as a professional economist in government or business or provide you with a solid basis for an academic career.

As all courses are taught in English, the programme is particularly well suited for international students. Class size is small, averaging about 25 students, which creates a personal and intense working atmosphere. These conditions encourage students to actively participate in class and to take part in debates on economic theory and policy issues.
