The MSc in Economics is a two-year graduate programme (*) that aims to provide an advanced level of education in economics. The program, held entirely in English, is built on four core courses — quantitative methods for economics, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics — and offers a wide array of specialized topics in most fields of contemporary economics, covering a number of cutting-edge advancement. The MSc in Economics is designed to give students the ability to approach a variety of economic and social issues. Moreover, the cultural tradition of the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Siena has always encouraged a pluralistic approach to the analysis of economic problems, in the belief that exposure to competing theoretical perspectives facilitates understanding of economic phenomena. In the same spirit, Siena has always favoured “contamination” of the economic approach with other disciplines, such as other social sciences, history, law, as well as biology, psychology, etc. Show less
