Graduates have a wide range of career options
The MSc European Economics is a unique double degree programme offering a comprehensive and flexible graduate level economics education combined with an integrated year of study in either Pavia (Italy), Nottingham (England) or Marseille (France).
Students spend one year at the University of Tübingen and one year at the partner university of their choice, either the Università degli studi di Pavia, the University of Nottingham or Aix-Marseille Université. Living and studying in Italy, England or France, students gain valuable skills and capacities necessary to compete in the European economic world. Due to the international focus of the programme, graduates are able to get into different working procedures in different countries efficiently and adopt beneficial practices employed in other cultures.
In addition to the MSc in European Economics, students are granted a Master’s degree from their chosen partner university. Thus, graduates have a wide range of career options in international companies or institutions in the public sector.
Curriculum
The Master of Science programme in European Economics is completed at the University of Tübingen and either at the Università degli Studi di Pavia, the University of Nottingham or Aix-Marseille Université.
The part of the programme that is completed at the University of Tübingen is divided into three main areas of study: core studies, specialisation studies, and elective studies. Students focus on up to two specialisations from the areas of Economics, International Economics, Finance, and Econometrics. To complete the programme, students have to obtain a total of 120 ECTS credits, 60 ECTS credits at each of the two universities.
For the Pavia option, there are two modes of study, depending on whether or not the Master's thesis is completed at the University of Tübingen. Students who choose to spend their first year at the University of Tübingen will write the Master's thesis while studying at the University of Pavia in their second year. Students studying at the University of Pavia in their first year will write the Master's thesis at the University of Tübingen. As a consequence, the course load for each institution depends on whether the student is in the first or second year of the programme.
With the Nottingham option, students spend their first year in Nottingham studying "Environmental Leadership and Management" before they continue their studies in Tübingen during their second year, which includes writing a Master's thesis co-supervised by one professor from each university.
When choosing the Marseille option, students begin their studies in Tübingen and take modules based on the track they want to follow in the second year in Marseille: Economics or Finance. They will also write their Master's thesis at Aix-Marseille Université.
