COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Business Economics curriculum is designed to provide students with a balanced combination of core research skills, specialized economic knowledge, and methodological expertise, preparing them for advanced analytical work and research-based careers. The program begins with core courses in research foundations and a major research project, which are both graded on a pass/fail basis, ensuring students develop strong academic and analytical skills early in their studies. Specialization courses, such as Economics of Organizations and Managerial Economics and Policy Seminar, provide students with an in-depth understanding of how economic principles apply to organizations, strategic decision-making, and policy contexts. Students also complete elective courses approved by their supervisor, which may include advanced microeconomic theory or other relevant subjects, allowing them to tailor their learning to specific research interests or career goals. Complementing this, methods and related field courses in applied statistics, econometrics, and econometric methods equip students with the quantitative and analytical tools necessary to conduct rigorous economic analysis. The curriculum emphasizes the integration of theoretical knowledge, practical application, and methodological proficiency, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for roles in consulting, policy analysis, business strategy, or further academic research. Overall, the program balances conceptual understanding with applied skills in a comprehensive 18-credit structure.
