Key Summary
The Master’s degree in economics, available in two specializations, Macroeconomics and Finance and Economic Analysis and Policy, offers you:
- tools that are essential in order to analyze and understand the issues of local and global economics.
- scientific knowledge and quantitative techniques in order to analyze economic, financial and social problems on the basis of observed facts and data.
