Tracks
Global Economics or Global Politics: In which area do you want to specialise?
During the first year of the programme, you’ll take subjects in both economics and political science, though later you’ll be able to choose in which of the two tracks you want to specialise. No matter which track you pick, at the end of the programme you’ll have an additional specialisation which will help you to multiply your career options in law and international relations.
Global Economics
Through this track, you’ll acquire the knowledge you need to understand the global economy and how it functions. In addition, you’ll also learn to use the tools needed to carry out rigorous economic analyses. After completing this track, you’ll be able to:
- Assess proposed economic regulations
- Analyse specific markets
- Undertake a macroeconomic analysis of a given country
- Analyse a concrete market in depth: the effects different regulations have on that market and how to test hypotheses using real data
Global Politics
In this track you’ll study content specifically related to political science and globalization, international politics and conflict management as well as geopolitics and natural resources.
This track is fundamentally practical in nature, helping you to develop the following competencies:
