Learning and experience
The programme emphasises quantitative and computational methods and offers scope to specialise as your interests develop. Its research orientation makes it a different choice from a short general management course: the aim is to learn to formulate and investigate economic questions with precision.
Who it may suit
It may be a good fit if you are considering doctoral research or want a deeper analytical foundation for economics-related work. The two-year commitment also gives more time to develop a research direction.
Admission and intake
UAB lists economics, business, finance, mathematics, engineering, physics or equivalent qualifications and B2 English. Academic results, references and quantitative preparation form part of selection.
