• Empirical Methods and Data Analysis
• Energy and Climate Change (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQninO4btnc&list=PLVSNQkQt1BtRS-0wxzVdSIQ7U1JujqsGl)
The empirical and analytical focus of the programme enables you to analyse economic phenomena using state-of-the-art research methods and to carry out research projects. Upon graduating from the programme, you will be prepared to enter a professional career in many private and public institutions in need of economic expertise. You may also opt for the continuation of your studies through a PhD programme in economic research.
The majority of the MSc Economics programme is internationally oriented in both content and style. It provides an international study environment in Germany, with a high proportion of international students from diverse backgrounds enrolling into the programme. Furthermore, many members of our faculty have an international background, either coming from or having been trained abroad.
