Why do some cities thrive while others do not? How can we ensure that motorists go to work outside of peak traffic hours? Why would a country commit to the Kyoto or Sofia Protocol? Why are real estate prices so volatile in many countries? In the master's programme in Spatial, Transport and Environmental Economics, you will deal with these types of issues related to urban, transport, environmental, and real estate economics.

If you're interested in exploring the dynamics of economic growth, urban development, housing affordability, living and working environments, mobility, resource depletion, and climate change, then choose this master’s programme! The programme will provide you with both the necessary theoretical framework and practical abilities to effectively tackle complex issues. You'll also learn how to provide clear and actionable policy advice based on economic theory. It also offers four specialization options or a combination of them, allowing you to tailor your education to your interests.

During the program, you have the option to specialize in one of the four specializations or a combination of them: Urban and Regional Economics, Transport Economics, Environmental Economics and Real Estate Economics and Finance.
