Overview

In the compulsory subject area Quantitative Economics students acquire advanced skills in economic theory and econometrics, which find application in a broad spectrum of economic issues covered in the programme’s five optional subject areas: Econometrics and Applied Economics, International Financial Economics, Macroeconomics and International Economics, Microeconomics and Decision Making and Public Economics.

Career prospects

The Economics programme from University of Konstanz has two objectives. First, to provide students with a modern and comprehensive postgraduate education in economics in line with the highest international standards.

Second, to lay the foundations for a wide range of challenging careers in the private and public sectors, for instance, in national and multinational companies, banks, consulting firms, insurance companies, national and local government, research institutes, universities, and international organisations. With a degree from the Department of Economics of the University of Konstanz the foundations for a successful career are laid.

Programme Structure

Track A is the fast track to a PhD. Following the first year of the programme, students with an outstanding performance record and a strong interest in academic research can be admitted to our Doctoral Programme in Quantitative Economics and Finance and take courses towards their doctorate during their Master's studies.

Track B enables students to sharpen their academic profile by majoring in one of the five optional subjects of the Master's programme.

Track C is for students aiming for a general postgraduate education in economics. Students create their own programme of study from the wide range of modules available in the optional subject areas.
