Учебный план программы обучения "International Economics and Public Policy (MIEPP)"

First Semester: During the first semester, students attend courses that review and expand basic concepts and methods within international trade, development economics, public economics, and macroeconomics.

Second and Third Semester: From the second semester onwards, they may specialize in either International Economics or Public Policy, if they choose at least two modules in the respective field. In addition, it is still possible to pick electives from the field they have not specialized in. In the elective part, students can select from a wide variety of courses that range from international macroeconomics, behavioural economics, labour, finance, accounting, taxation, international management, marketing, logistics, to information management and mathematics. They have the option to pick modules which span over one or two semesters. All modules have a strong focus on policy issues and empirical applications.

Fourth Semester: The final semester is reserved for the master’s thesis, in which students demonstrate their ability to conduct a competent analysis of a topical research issue.

Факультет

Требования к поступающим на программу обучения "International Economics and Public Policy (MIEPP)"

• A completed bachelor-level degree in business, economics, or a related field of study with at least 6 semesters regular period of study. Note that if you have not completed your degree yet, you can still be admitted if – by the time of application – you have already acquired at least 135 ECTS in a bachelor’s program that takes six semesters and awards a total of 180 ECTS according to the European credit point system. In this case, we need a written official confirmation by your university that lists all the courses and exams taken so far, that computes your current grade point average and that confirms that your Bachelor program awards a total of 180 ECTS.

• Sufficient knowledge of the English language as documented by a TOEFL test with at least 227 points (computer-based test), 87 points (internet-based test), 567 points (paper-based test), or IELTS with a minimum of 5 points if the bachelor-level degree has not been achieved in a program taught entirely in English, or, alternatively, acquiring the Cambridge First Certificate (FCE). For TOEFL, IELTS or FCE, the issuing date of the certificate should not be older than three years, relative to the application deadline. Note that passing the TOEFL ITP test does not satisfy the admission requirements. It is possible to apply for admission to the MIEPP program before taking the TOEFL/ IELTS/ FCE. In this case, the results of the TOEFL/ IELTS/ FCE have to be submitted by the student at the end of the semester in which she/he started her/his studies. If this proof is not provided on time, the admission will be rescinded.

Fill out an “Application for the recognition / validation of foreign certificates” and submit it to the International Office – Incoming at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. The form can be downloaded from the International Office’s own website. You should complete this form and send it off as soon as possible.

The validation certificate will be issued only after the processing fee has been transferred to the International Office’s bank account (checks, credit cards or banknotes will not be accepted). The account details can be found on page four of the form. Please note that all copies of documents must be officially certified and any copies which are not in either German, French or English must be submitted with a certified translation in either of these languages.
