Introduction
Master in Economics and Finance (MEF) is a two-year English-language Master's degree program that aims to give students a thorough understanding of theoretical and applied economics and finance. Emphasis is put on developing strong analytical skills that will allow our graduates to solve complex economic problems in various areas. Applicants must have a solid background in Mathematics and a good command of English. Courses are taught both by faculty members of the Institute of Economic Studies (IES) and external professionals from international institutions, central banks, and the financial industry. Graduates typically assume challenging positions in banking, consulting, investment funds, international financial institutions, or they pursue an academic career at respected international universities.
Compulsory courses introduce students to advanced topics in macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics. Elective courses cover a wide range of areas in economics and finance and let students specialize in the field of their interest. The topics include applied economics and economic policy (e.g. monetary economics, international macroeconomics, antitrust economics, public economics, health economics, environmental economics, development economics, energy economics, and economics of the EU), banking and finance (banking, financial markets, corporate finance, asset pricing, company valuation, real estate investment, bank asset, and liability management, and financial regulation)), and advanced empirical methods (e.g. macroeconometrics, applied microeconometrics, financial econometrics, data science, and DSGE modeling).
