Master in Economics

For Master in Economics, tuition comes to 1,876 USD per year.

Economics is the study of how individuals, firms, and societies allocate scarce resources, and how markets, institutions, and policy shape those choices. A master's programme in economics typically builds on undergraduate coursework in microeconomics and macroeconomics, extending into more advanced theory alongside econometrics, the statistical methods economists use to test hypotheses and analyse data. Depending on the programme, students may also study international economics, public economics, labour economics, industrial organisation, or development economics, along with mathematical methods used throughout the discipline. Graduates with an economics background move into a wide range of roles, including positions in banking and financial services, government agencies and central banks, international organisations, consulting firms, and corporate strategy or research departments. The quantitative and analytical training economics provides, particularly the ability to build models, interpret data, and reason about incentives and trade-offs, is also transferable to fields such as data analysis, policy research, and business analytics. Some graduates continue to doctoral study in economics or related social sciences. This two-year Economics master's programme is offered by Università degli Studi di Siena, in the city of Siena, Italy, and is taught in English. Siena has a long-standing academic association with economics and related social sciences within the Italian university system. The programme's English-medium format is intended to make advanced economics study accessible to an international cohort, and, as a master's-level programme, it presumes students already hold a bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification before enrolling.
