The master's program in international economics concentrates on the acquisition of specialized knowledge of international markets and the global interconnections of national economies. High value is set on research-based teaching and demanding proficiency in analytical methods. Master's students have the opportunity of studying one semester at one of our partner universities for example in Europe, Russia, the U.S., Latin America, Africa, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, or China. Additional language courses can be chosen as electives to prepare students for this study-abroad program.

The master's degree program in international economics provides students with greater in-depth subject-related and methodological knowledge to enable them to analyze the increasingly international cooperation of economies and thus reproduce and evaluate its impacts on domestic or foreign economic measurands. This focus means a comprehensive, thematically matched series of courses in the field of international economic relations within the master's degree program.

Whether concerned with micro and macro issues in development economics, multinational companies and organizations, international trade, or experimental economic research, the large range of modules offered creates a solid methodological and factual basis to enable candidates to soundly analyze the current opportunities and risks of globalization. Equipped with several professorships and an interdisciplinary research center, the University of Göttingen, moreover, offers the largest area of focus on the areas of economic development research.
