Master

The Department of Economics offers teaching in the three Master's programs in Economics with Data Science, International Business and Economics and Management as well as in the Master's programs in Business Education and Business Information Systems, some of which can also be completed as double Master's programs with foreign universities. We also participate in the interdisciplinary Master's program Bioeconomy.

The English-language master’s program in Economics with Data Science is intended to equip the students with the main tools of a professional economis. It prepares to work in government, central banking, international organizations, or the private sector firms, as well as an excellent foundation for PhD programs.

Students benefit from small class sizes, individualized support, and a diverse selection of elective modules. In addition, a certificate in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, as well as the option of an international double Master’s degree program, offer attractive opportunities for professional and personal development.

The chairs within the Department Economics offer traditional courses in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Econometrics, supplemented by a data science perspective. This is reflected in the required modules “Principles of Data Science” and “Foundations of Economics with Data Science,” as well as in the project seminar “Empirical Research in Economics,” which combines theoretical content with data science methods. (Study Plan)

In the English-language MSc in International Business and Economics, we equip students with fundamental skills in mathematics, econometrics, and microeconomics. We also offer a range of advanced courses in all required specialization areas (International Economics, Innovation Management and Economics, Finance, and Data Analytics). Additional advanced economics courses are available to students in the International Business and Economics master’s program as part of their free elective courses.

In the cross-faculty English-language MSc Bioeconomy, we offer introduction to economics (Basic Economic Concepts for Bioeconomists) and provide a holistic understanding of the transformation to a sustainable economy (Economic Policy Analysis of the Bioeconomy).

A large part of the economics courses can be taken in degree programs offered by other faculties.

All professors of the Department of Economics supervise Master's theses related to current research topics.
