The Master of Science in Economics of the Middle East (EMEA) is a unique Master’s program of School of Business and Economics and Center for Near and Middle Eastern Studies, combining institutional economics and business administration with applications to the economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Understanding complex economic challenges in the MENA requires an interdisciplinary approach. Thus, EMEA includes a wide range of electives from various disciplines to facilitate a broad understanding of the region’s complexity. The curriculum equips students with knowledge about up-to-date issues relevant to many MENA countries, e.g., Islamic finance, political economy, natural resources, corruption, and conflict. Combined with one of the specialization tracks, students sharpen their job market profile towards a career as regional experts with modern problem-solving skills specific to Institutional Economics, Finance & Accounting, or Management. Hands-on regional experience is an asset: we encourage our students to spend an optional semester abroad at one of our leading partner universities in the MENA region. The program is taught entirely in English by a range of experts and well-known professors in the field. EMEA offers a well-balanced academic education in economics as well as advanced knowledge of applied quantitative methods with reference to the MENA region.

The main objective of our teaching is to enable students to develop an individual professional identity and the correspondingly necessary professional skills, to enable them to take a critical stance in scientific discourse, and to support their personal development. We consider all these aspects as important prerequisites for working with and for people in an (inter)national context. In addition, our network provides connections for internships abroad or exchange semesters at other SFU locations.
