Study Plan 2022-2024
The programme is taught entirely in English and has a strong international orientation.
The first year offers all the core courses together with some specialized courses. The second-year offers a variety of elective courses, and the possibility of doing an internship (either at a private, or a research institution). Together with the final master thesis (which is written in the last semester), the students will have received the necessary training to undertake an independent analysis of many economics problems.
The standard duration of the Master in Economics is 3 semesters (leading to 90 credits). However, students who wish to amplify their training, have the option of earning additional 30 credits in the form of electives, to be taken either at USI, or our international and national partner universities (leading to a master degree with 120 credits).
The students have the choice between two minors: a minor in Public Policy, which provides in-depth knowledge in industrial organization, health economics and development, and a minor in Data Science, which teaches students informatics skills, and familiarizes them with coding in different programming languages.
