Research Master's Programme in Economics
The programme primarily aims at providing a solid preparation for the Doctoral Programme but it also provides a good starting point for a career as a professional economist in government, international organisations or business. The programme is highly demanding and typically not more than ten students are admitted each autumn. The course programme is run jointly with the Doctoral Programme and courses concentrate on the core elements of economic theory and econometrics. A Master thesis is written under the supervision of one of our professors. The objective is that this thesis should be of sufficiently high standards so that it can be part of a future Doctoral thesis should the student be admitted to the Doctoral programme. There is no guarantee that graduates from the Research Master Programme in Economics will be admitted to the Doctoral Programme but those who are will typically be allowed to transfer credits amounting to at least one year of full time studies to the Doctoral Programme. After a completed programme the student may apply for a Master degree in Economics.
