About the Master in Economics: Empirical Applications and Policies



The Master in Economics: Empirical Applications and Policies is a one year full-time program organised by The University of the Basque Country in Bilbao, Spain.

The aim of the program is to provide a sound understanding of economics and its applications. Students in the program learn empirical modes of inquiry and quantitative methods, and how to apply these to investigate economic issues.

Highly motivated students with a bachelor's degree in economics, or any other comparable undergraduate major such as engineering or mathematics, are encouraged to apply for this program.

This Master is taught in English.

Admission to the Program is competitive. The selection committee will consider excellence of academic transcript and letters of recommendation. On-line Application is open until June 30th.

Tuition Fees and Financial Aids: The University of the Basque Country is a public university. Tuition fee is around 2,000 € per academic year. The University provides financial aid of about 4,500 euros for selected students – selection based on excellence.
