MSc in Economics

We challenge you to look at economics differently and to discover that it is much more than money, markets and regulations. Economists also examine consumers’, businesses’ and governmental financial behaviour and decision-making. Within the Master's specialisation in Economics, you have a choice between six Master's specialisations.

Accounting and Control - Gain the skills and knowledge required to become a professional in the domains of auditing, accountancy, controlling and financial management and consulting.

Corporate Finance and Control - Focus on the financial management and governance of firms and learn how to deal with not just economic but also managerial, legal, and reporting aspects to strengthen and maximise enterprise value.

Economics, Behaviour and Policy - Making (economic) policy smarter and effective as advisor, policy maker or manager? Introducing psychology, political science and sociology in governmental and non-governmental policy design will bridge the gap between theory and practice.
