The Master in International Economics provides students with a critical and pluralist understanding of current debates in economics, explicitly including heterodox approaches. The programme has a strongly international approach and aims to integrate an understanding of theoretical controversies, historical developments and contemporary policy disputes. It follows an interdisciplinary perspective reflecting the importance that social and political institutions play in shaping economic developments and current problems in international economics, like global and regional imbalances, macroeconomic instability, inequality and ecological constraints of economic activity.
During the first semester, all students study four compulsory courses at a Master's level: International Economics, Macroeconomics, Development Economics, and Global Governance.
In the second semester, all students take the research-based course Current Issues in International Economics and choose three further courses from a wide range of options which include: Growth & Distribution, Econometrics, Political Economy of Modern Capitalism, Feminist and Ecological Economics, International Political Economy, Politics of Social Cohesion, Recent Developments in European Law, as well as Regional Economic Integration (or another option from the Master's pool).
During the third semester, students will be committed to researching and writing their Master's theses.
Students who have completed a Bachelor's degree with only 180 credit points (generally corresponding to a three-year Bachelor's programme) will be required to complete a work experience placement in the third semester, which is worth 30 credit points. Students with a Bachelor's degree worth 210 credit points who have already done supervised work experience during their undergraduate programme may also take a placement in the third semester if they wish.
