- Description/content
- The Master's programme in Economic Behavior and Governance (EB&Go) emphasises the main research areas of the faculty at the Institute of Economics. The objective is to provide students with profound knowledge in behavioural economics with a strong focus on applied research questions. We introduce students to advanced theories in the field of behavioural economics and governance and to advanced empirical methods. Furthermore, we train them to apply these theories and methods to analyse important problems in contemporary economic policy.
The graduates have a broad range of job opportunities, including careers in government and public administration, supranational organisations, multinational firms, research, and higher education.
Given the large number of courses held in English and the opportunity to write the Master's thesis in English, the Master's programme can be taught completely in English. However, German-speaking students can acquire up to two-thirds of the credits in German.
