MSc in International Economics with a focus on China

There is high demand for graduates with an in-depth knowl­edge of the Chinese economy and China’s role in the Asia- Pacific and the global economy. This programme will pro­vide you with knowledge of the current affairs of China’s economy based on the methods of advanced economics and economic history.

Through this programme you will:

• acquire an extensive knowledge of China´s economic in­stitutions
• obtain a broad theoretical knowledge of international economics and economic history
• conduct field work at Fudan University, Shanghai

The labour market for economists with a specialisation in In­ternational Economics is naturally broadening in an increas­ingly globalised world. Intensifying trade relations and cross country investment flows with East Asia, and particularly China as the new growth pole of the Asia-Pacific region, create a constant demand for economists with strong exper­tise on China’s economy. Currently, qualified economists are in short supply. Only few European universities are in the position to offer a specialised degree, which combines both a solid education in International Economics and in-depth knowledge of China’s economy. Graduates from this pro­gramme will therefore have an outstanding chance of em­ployment in the national and international labour markets.
