Economics

The Integrated Master Program in Economics, established in 2003, is a course of study that attracts students from all over the world and Germany, conferring upon successful conclusion a Master of Science degree (M.Sc.). The aim of the program is to strengthen analytical and problem-solving skills in one of three specialized areas:

Economics and Politics

The specialization combines core economic theories with political economy and public choice theory, equipping students with the tools necessary to gain an enhanced understanding and make an assessment of observable economic orders and of economic policy-making.

Finance

The specialization focuses on the workings of modern financial markets and institutions. It confers in-depth knowledge about both the mechanisms of the existing international financial infrastructure and about the optimal design of global capital markets.

Information Systems and Network Economics

The specialization deals with the economy of linked up systems, as for example information systems. Special subjects address among other things network economy, security on the internet, electronic markets, telematics and strategic management.

Structure

All three specializations entail 2 full years and are taught entirely in English. The first year sets common ground for all students; the second year allows development of expertise in the chosen area of specialization, culminating in a master thesis. During the second year students can study at selected partner universities abroad.
