The aim of the program is to prepare specialists in economics and business using the basic skills acquired in the fields of international-, micro- and macroeconomics, international politics, European integration, international law, regional studies, civilization/globalization and their chosen specialisation enable them to analyse, plan, make decisions and control the activities of business organisations and institutions in an international context.

The program provides education at a Masters level and as such, it expects students to arrive with a sound theoretical basis acquired in their earlier Bachelors studies. The program aims to expand the knowledge acquired at a Bachelors level, and intends to teach students how to put the acquired skills into practice. This purpose is reached in two types of courses: Lecture-type courses are offered with the aim of presenting theoretical issues, whereas practice-oriented seminar-type courses are launched with the purpose of giving room to debates, interactive discussions, and group or individual presentations on current and relevant topics of the field.

The program provides students with the necessary background knowledge and they can continue their studies in our doctoral (PhD) program.
