The Master’s in International and Development Economics (MIDE) is an 18-month, full-time programme in the Faculty of Economics. The course, which was first offered in 2003, begins in April each year at the start of the summer semester. It consists of two semesters with lectures and seminars of around 20 hours per week and a third semester dedicated principally to researching and writing a master’s thesis.
MIDE begins with courses that provide a solid foundation in modern theories of development economics, macroeconomics and international trade and finance. It then offers a wide range of optional courses focusing on policy and management issues in key economic sectors, including environmental and resource economics, financial
institutions and regional integration. Throughout the programme, MIDE strives to achieve a balance between theoretical debates and practical application. Graduates of the programme will be well equipped to work for inter-national companies that operate in developing countries as well as for governmental or non-governmental institutions involved in development cooperation. In developing countries, graduates will be ideally suited for positions in government departments, banks, consulting organisations, multinational companies, chambers of commerce or educational institutions such as universities. Students are expected to have already acquired basic academic knowledge and skills in economics and business management in their undergraduate courses.
The programme is accredited by ACQUIN (Accreditation, Certification and Quality Assurance Institute) and AQAS (Agency for Quality Assurance).
Course language
The programme is taught entirely in English.
