Are you interested in gaining a deeper understanding of specific areas of the economic system and in improving skills that are benefit society? Do you want to do this while studying in an international environment?

Many societal issues have an economic dimension, so economic theory can be used to analyse them and look for possible solutions. This Master’s programme provides an in-depth examination of economic theory and its application in the real world, covering areas such as sustainable development, the environment, financial systems and international trade, and competition and regulation. Your studies will not only provide subject-specific knowledge, but you will also increase your skill set in areas such as making presentations, scholarly writing and programmes, enhancing your ability to work with and analyse complex materials.

Södertörn University is one of the few higher education institutions that offer a one-year Master’s in Economics, and provides flexibility in also allowing students to transfer to a two-year Master’s degree. Class sizes are kept small, thus allowing more resources to be allocated to each student.
