Overview

Key features

This includes the development of new and more advanced methodologies and analytical approaches. Accordingly, the Research in Economics and Finance programme places great emphasis on the foundations of both theory and empirics in the two fields. After a joint first semester, students choose to specialise in economics or finance. The programme can be thought of as the first two years of an American-style PhD program, prior to the phase of thesis writing.

After Graduation

Graduates at the University of Vienna are able to work on economic and financial issues using the methods and instruments of theoretical and empirical economic research. The skills acquired go beyond those taught in a corresponding bachelor's degree. In particular, graduates can independently read and understand the relevant scientific literature as well as question them critically and apply them to specific economic questions. You are familiar with modern theories of economics and finance and can check their statements on the basis of data. Graduates have the knowledge that enables them to take up an economics doctoral program with independent scientific research.
