The programme can begin in either the winter or summer semester. Within the elective component, students may specialise in Macroeconomics and Finance, Data Science and Microeconomics, or Real Estate, Regional and Trade. At least 36 ECTS of electives must come from the core economics programme; the remaining 24 ECTS may include courses from the Faculty of Economics and Business, internships, or language and IT courses. Elective specialisation courses are offered jointly with the International Real Estate Business School (IREBS). Highly motivated students may apply separately for an honours programme, which includes a mandatory exchange semester, mentoring, interdisciplinary seminars, and a one-week honours academy abroad.
