Master in Economics

The University of Warsaw offers a master's degree in Economics, taught in English over two years, with yearly tuition of 2100.0 EUR. The program includes two named specializations: Development Economics and International Economics. The Master's Programme in Development Economics, known as MADE, is designed to give future development specialists and advisors the grounding they need in economics and policy design for work in international and governmental development agencies as well as non-governmental organizations. MADE opens each year with 50 places for international and domestic students, and the strongest candidates, around 16%, may receive a tuition waiver. English is the sole language of instruction, bringing together an international group of students and lecturers. The program leads to the degree of magister, corresponding to a Master of Arts, and is aimed at people who want to work on the foundations of stable and sustainable economic growth in developing countries, with particular attention to applicants from the Global South. The International Economics specialization is described as an increasingly essential degree given the state of the global economy, offering knowledge and skills in international economic analysis with an emphasis on analytical tools and empirical research techniques. Economics at the graduate level generally combines advanced theory with applied methods, and specializations such as these prepare students for roles in international organizations, development agencies, government ministries, and research institutions. A two-year, English-taught master's degree from a major public university such as the University of Warsaw, located in Warszawa, gives students both a defined academic path and access to a large academic and policy community in the Polish capital.
