Economics (Master)

The Graduate School of Economics trains professionals who can contribute to economic and social development. Teaching covers economic theory, fiscal and monetary policy, international and Asian economies, environmental economics, modern firms and regional industrial policy. Master's students choose one of three fields: theoretical economics and economic history, economic policy, or contemporary industrial structure. Their supervisor comes from that field and guides the master's thesis. Classes are small, and discussion with the supervisor is central to research. The school welcomes international students and working adults, offering special entrance examinations and, for working students, an extended-study system that spreads the course over a longer period. Support is also given to those preparing for related professional qualifications. Each year only a handful of students enter, so teaching staff can give personal attention throughout the course.
