Quantitative Economics MA

The MQE is designed as a two-year program consisting of several modules.

MQE targets students who look for advanced methodological training.

Elements of our existing Ph.D. level teaching are adjusted to make selected courses suitable for MQE students, including guest lectures and summer schools.

The MQE is a program in Economics and as such not interdisciplinary but in terms of research projects we will encourage our students to explore these interdisciplinary topics. Various interdisciplinary initiatives exist at the Faculty, e. g. the Munich Experimental Laboratory for the Economic and Social Sciences (MELESSA) 7 or the Organizations Research Group (ORG) 8 to facilitate this.The Curriculum of the MQE comprises several modules.

• The first semester is focused on providing advanced methods training in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics.
• The second semester completes this methods training in microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students get targeted training in soft skills (written and verbal communication), and add a first specialization in a field of their choice.
• In the third semester students add a second field specialization and work on a research project in a dedicated module. 
• In the fourth semester students complete their studies by writing a Master thesis.
