Economics (M.Sc.)

To customize your Master's, you can choose one of three tracks:

Track A: This is our fast track to a PhD.

Track B: Passionate for a specific area of Economics? Track B allows you to specialise in one of five subject areas (examples for specific courses in brackets):

• Econometrics and Applied Economics (e.g. Applied Time Series Analysis, Microeconometrics and Machine Learning, Financial Econometrics)
• International Financial Economics (e.g. Portfolio Management, Risk Management, Bank Management)
• Macroeconomics and International Economics (International Macroeconomics, International Monetary Economics)
• Microeconomics and Decision Making (e.g. Behavioral Economics, Advanced Microeconomics II, Compensation & Benefits)
• Public Economics (e.g. Labor Markets and Inequality, Economics of Education, Behavioral Public Economics)

Track C: Create your own curriculum! Track C provides you with a general economic postgraduate education, enabling you to choose your courses flexibly.

• Excellence: Study at a renowned department at one of Germany’s Universities of Excellence conducting leading research e.g. in the area of economic inequality.
• Made-to-measure: choose classes on a range from microeconomics over risk management to public economics, gain a specialization or take the general track
• Close supervision: small classes facilitate direct interaction with your lecturers and improve your learning experience.
• No tuition fees for EU/EEA Citizens (tuition fees for students from outside the EU/EEA countries and for UK double degree options)
• Study internationally: all classes are taught in English, which leads to an international student cohort. This will prepare you ideally for an international work environment later on.
