Program overview

What the University of Antwerp says about their program:

As the world faces issues like climate change, inequality, sustainability, and financial and healthcare crises, there has never been a greater need for skilled economic policymakers. With the one-year Master's of Economic Policy (60 ECTS credits), you can become that expert.

Through our program, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the consequences of economic policies and learn to evaluate different policy options using cutting-edge economic theory and research methods. With this knowledge, you'll be ready to tackle the challenges of the future.

And the best part? You'll be studying right in the heart of Europe, just a 45 minute train-ride away from the headquarters of NATO, the European Commission, and much more. So not only will you be getting a world-class education, but you'll also have countless opportunities to network and gain real-world experience.
