Economic solutions to global challenges
How does the EU contribute to economic stability? How does globalization impact local economies? How can we address the challenges of affordable education, effective healthcare and the aging population across the globe?

It prepares you for a career as a professional economist, whether your interests draw you to a career in the public or private sector, research or consulting.
