Economics


The master program in Economics at WU offers students numerous opportunities to customize their education through specialization areas. After the first semester (principles of economics: microeconomics, macroeconomics, methods), students have to choose some compulsory courses but can also choose from ten areas of specialization: Labor and Organizational Economics; Industrial Organization; International Economics; Money, Credit and Finance; Public Sector Economics; Economics of Distribution; Economic Development; Spatial Economics; Regulatory Economics; and Economic and Social Policy.

Within the program, students can choose to focus either on applied economics or mathematical economics.  A final master thesis on an economic topic gives students the opportunity to work independently using academic research methods.

After successful completion of the program, graduates are granted the academic title Master of Science (WU), abbreviated as MSc(WU).

Important information: the Master program in Economics is taught in German. A certain level of German is required. You will find more information here.
