Within the last ten years, the demand for graduates in Economics with quantitative skills increased strongly. This requires a solid education in formal economic theory as well as a comprehensive education in statistics and econometrics. Taking into account the growing availability of datasets and the decisions based on these both in the public authorities and the companies, it is of high value to have an in-depth understanding of econometric concepts. This need is fulfilled with this new study program. The methodological thorough education allows graduates to carry out an occupation in research institutions, international organizations, public authorities, companies and economic consulting.

Economics used to be called national economics, but that was a long time ago. Globalisation means that business no longer stops at national borders -- and the same goes for our academic work. The D sseldorf Master of Economics has a clear international focus, both with respect to the content of the degree course and its interaction with other faculties around the world. We can offer you numerous opportunities to spend a semester abroad and, at the same time, we invite students from international Master's degree courses to come to D sseldorf on exchange programmes.
