Description of the Graduate Program in International Economics and Finance

Candidates for the degree of Master of Science in International Economics and Finance must earn 120 ECTS [European Credit Transfer System] credits and submit a satisfactory master's thesis.

Graduate students in International Economics and Finance are required to accumulate academic credits in four subject areas. The minimum number of credits that must be earned in each of these four required academic subject areas are as follows:

All lectures listed hereunder are obligatory. In their 3rd study semester, students choose a concentration in International Economics or in Finance by selecting the relevant lectures, seminar, and appropriate topic for the master's thesis.

Academic credits are earned by passing the written exams accompanying the lectures and seminars which constitute the curriculum of the program. The number of credits earned by passing an exam is commensurate to the number of instructional hours received in the lecture or seminar per week.

A master's thesis, demonstrating that the candidate has the ability to independently work on a selected topic using the scientific methods learned in the program, is required. It has to be written in English under the supervision of a professor of the faculty. The time limit for the preparation and submission of this thesis in its final form is four months.

Those applicants whose Bachelor degree was obtained in a discipline different from Economics or Management, or whose degree is for other reasons not deemed equivalent to the rather mathematically oriented Bachelor's degree of our Faculty, will, as a rule, get admission to the Master program upon the precondition of one propaedeutic semester in which, according to the terms of the applicable Study Rules, the following undergraduate-level subjects have to be completed and passed successfully: Microeconomics, Statistics II , and International Economics. The successful completion of these subject examinations constitutes the basis for the further continuation of Master studies.
