Economic Analysis

The programme aims to build students’ core competencies to work with economic issues at various spatial levels; international, in¬ter-regional, and local. During the first year, students learn theo¬retical and quantitative analytical skills. In the second year the programme aims to further deepen the students’ competencies in the area of spatial econo¬mics. Strengthening econometric competencies is at the core of first-year’s courses. The last term is devoted to writing a comprehensive thesis, which is conducted in close collaboration with faculty. This gives you the opportunity to establish links with the research faculty and also gain insight into the academic milieu and knowledge about how to conduct research. In addition, many researchers within the economics faculty specialize within the field of regional economics, creating an excellent match.The programme includes several method courses which give the students the tools and skills to analyse and process data and draw conclusions. Thus, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with useful practical skills. The programme attracts students and instructors from around the world, This international atmosphere contributes to a broad perspective of the issues discussed in class.
