Introduction
The MA in Economics at the University of Zurich offers advanced economics training and enables students to undertake independent economic, project-oriented assignments. The degree qualifies students to occupy positions in economically-oriented careers and to enter further studies at Doctor level.
Structure of studies (CP = ECTS credit points): The four fields of study differ with reference to specific requirements. In economics, the complex interrelation between markets is studied. 30 CP are acquired in compulsory fields together with a minimum of 30 CP from the fields of macroeconomics and economic policy, microeconomics and management, and 6 CP in the student’s elected political economics field. In addition, a minimum of 6 further CP must be acquired in the field of business administration. Students also have the choice of focusing on individual subjects. Finally, the Master’s thesis accounts for a further 30 CP.
