Program details
Overview
The master's programme in economics links solid theory with modern empirical and econometric research. It is taught entirely in English and allows considerable freedom: after a shared methodological foundation, students deepen their knowledge in economic theory, empirical economics or economic policy analysis. Current questions include how interest rates and inflation affect markets, and how climate change, inequality and labour market crises can be analysed with data-driven methods.
Close cooperation with research institutes such as the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) and the university's interdisciplinary central institutes gives students direct contact with current research. The programme is research-oriented and structured into compulsory modules, an extensive elective area and a concluding master's thesis.
The degree takes four semesters and begins in the winter semester. Admission is governed by the admission statute for the programme.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission details are set out in the admission statute for the programme. Admission is decided each semester: restricted admission (NC) or open admission (zulassungsfrei).
