Study economics in Groningen to learn how to apply economic thinking to societal problems and policy issues.

How should competition policy deal with online platforms? What is the right monetary policy in today’s economy? The MSc Economics teaches you how to use modern economics to deal with microeconomic and macroeconomic problems.

You will study economic theories at a high analytical level and learn about the application of theory and research methods to economic practice and policy. Such a combination of rigorous academic thinking with practical application is essential for any professional active in the field of economics, either in policy or research.

In the programme, we offer four possible specializations: Competition and Regulation, Health Economics, Monetary Policy, and Energy. In each specialization, you can still design your own study programme.
