Descripción del programa
The Master’s in Economics at Nova SBE is the 3rd best Master’s in Economics in Europe according to the 2019 Eduniversal rankings. Did we grab your attention yet? To that, we can add the opportunity to take part in an advanced program that includes analytical skills and economic policy awareness.
Are you ready to start building your successful career as an economist?
If you asked us to define our Master’s in Economics in three words, we would use: unique, hands-on and applicable.
We make sure that we provide state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical techniques, but we also focus on the development and acquisition of the tools required for applied policy analysis. This means econometric and numerical software or modern econometric techniques for the evaluation of policy interventions, to name a few.
Below you can find more information regarding the basic structure of the program, but remember — you can tailor-make the curriculum according to your interests. Please have a look at the electives (specialize in a specific field), areas of expertise (focus a part of your studies on a particular area of interest) and professional development modules (let’s talk about responsible leadership and creative thinking) sections as well, to make sure that you make this Master's your own.

What’s at the finish line?
The Work Project
Students must complete a Master’s Work Project, which is equivalent to a Master’s Thesis. You can choose one of the following to finish your studies with flying colors.
Directed Research
An original piece of work on a topic proposed and supervised by a professor. This may also take the form of a case study.
Field Lab
A group project developed in collaboration with a public or private institution and under supervision by a professor.
Internship
An internship where students develop a project in a problem-solving format for a company, in response to a predefined question/problem raised by the host organization and under the supervision of a Nova SBE Professor. Students may apply for internships offered by Nova SBE or obtain one directly from a company through their own contacts.
