Economics of the Middle East (EMEA)

EMEA is a unique Master's programme combining institutional economics and business administration with applications to the economies of the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Understanding complex economic challenges in the MENA requires an interdisciplinary approach. Thus, EMEA includes a wide range of electives from various disciplines to facilitate a broad understanding of the region's complexity. The curriculum equips students with knowledge about up-to-date issues relevant for many MENA countries, such as the political economy of Islam, natural resources, corruption, conflict, and economic sanctions. Combined with one of the specialisation tracks, students can sharpen their job market profile towards a career as regional experts with modern problem-solving skills specific to economics, finance and accounting, or management. Hands-on regional experience is an asset: spend a semester abroad at one of our many partner universities in the MENA region.
