The Economics-QEM curriculum (Study > Study Plan > Enrolled in the 2023/2024 academic year > Economics-QEM) provides a consolidated understanding of the field of economics from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. This path offers a markedly international atmosphere thanks to the fact that you share the classroom with students from around the world enrolled in the Erasmus Mundus Joint Degree in “Models and Methods in Economics and Management (QEM).” NB: It is also possible to apply for this degree in the final year of your undergraduate studies, but the application process does not take place on this platform.

In particular, you will be ready to analyse contemporary society in order to seek solutions to pressing socio-economic problems in a dynamic way with a particular focus on innovation in the contexts of economics, finance and adaptation to climate change.
