Master in Economics

Tuition fees are 1,051 USD per year.

Economics is the study of how individuals, businesses, and societies allocate scarce resources, covering both microeconomic questions about individual and firm behavior and macroeconomic questions about national and global economic systems. Typical areas of study include microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, economic policy, and quantitative methods, often supplemented with more specialized coursework in areas such as international economics, finance, or development economics depending on the specific program focus. The discipline equips students with analytical and quantitative tools used to interpret economic data, evaluate policy decisions, and understand the behavior of markets and economic actors. Graduates from economics programs commonly pursue careers in banking and finance, economic consulting, government and policy analysis, international organizations, and research roles across public and private sectors. This master's degree in Economics is delivered in English at Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Roma, Italy, over a duration of two years. Teaching the program in English allows it to draw an international student body interested in advanced economic study in Italy. At the master's level, applicants generally need an undergraduate degree, often in economics or a related quantitative field, with the program intended to build more advanced analytical and theoretical economics skills. Roma's role as a major economic and administrative center in Italy provides relevant context for studying economic policy and markets. Across the two years of study, students progress from core economic theory toward more specialized coursework, preparing graduates for a range of careers in finance, policy, and economic analysis both within Italy and internationally.
