Details

The Master of Science in Economics at the Faculty of Management and Economics is a two-year degree program taught in English. Flexibility is a key characteristic of the program. Besides three highly recommended core modules, students are offered a wide range of elective courses to choose from, and courses with varying degrees of abstraction and applicability are also available. The flexible, modular structure of the program allows for a significant amount of specialization in line with individual abilities and interests. For those students who wish to follow a certain study scheme during their master’s studies, the program offers two optional specializations, "International Economics and Finance" and "Environment, Resources and Energy".

The MSc in Economics has a strong international orientation. As the program is taught in English, it gives local students the opportunity to develop professional English language skills necessary to work at international organizations, while at the same time attracting international students to study an English-taught program in Germany. Students also have the opportunity to study abroad at one of RUB’s partner universities and take part in the faculty’s international summer school.

The strong interaction between teaching faculty and students, as well as the small group size, guarantee a stimulating academic environment and optimal learning conditions. The MSc in Economics provides students with both theoretical and practical economic knowledge that is essential to take up interesting positions in the private sector and in public institutions. The program also serves as an excellent preparatory degree for those students wishing to move on to a PhD program in Economics.
