MA in Applied Economics is a one-year, three semester intensive masters program. 

We are here to develop curious, impact-driven individuals who will help build more prosperous societies. Our graduates can crunch the numbers. But they also experiment with human-centered design approaches to test ideas on real-world challenges. Our unique areas are courses grounded in real-life problem solving: Interventions/design thinking module, Group client project and Discovery days.
