Focus on the financial management and governance of firms and learn how to deal with not just economic but also managerial, legal, and reporting aspects to strengthen and maximise enterprise value.

  • Economics, Behaviour and Policy

Making (economic) policy smarter and effective as advisor, policy maker or manager? Introducing psychology, political science and sociology in governmental and non-governmental policy design will bridge the gap between theory and practice.

  • Financial Economics

Learn to analyse and understand the working of (global) financial markets. Explore various aspects, such as financial risk management, asset pricing and monetary policy.

  • International Economics and Development
