Master in Economics

At Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, applications are due 15 Jul · 15 Jan.

The Master's programme in Economics at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is a four-semester quantitative programme taught entirely in English. It provides solid grounding in formal economic theory, statistics, and econometrics, with a focus on the methods needed to work in research, international organisations, public authorities, companies, and economic consulting. The programme can begin in either the winter or summer semester. The curriculum includes compulsory modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, advanced econometrics, advanced economic theory, and mathematics. A reading course is integrated to develop students' ability to engage critically with current economic research literature from an early stage. An economics seminar module involves students preparing referee reports — assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of recent research publications. These components are designed to support both academic careers and quantitatively demanding professional roles. The programme is based at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, Germany.
