Students will become familiar with contemporary controversies in economic policy, especially those concerning monetary, fiscal and exchange-rate policy. The programme will also delve more deeply into the strategies that should be adopted in key economic sectors, with a particular focus on agriculture, financial institutions and public enterprises. Throughout, the programme will strive to achieve a balance between theoretical reflection and practical application.

The programme will prepare students to work in various areas related to developing countries. Graduates will be well-equipped to work for European companies which operate in developing countries, or for governmental or non-governmental institutions involved in development co-operation. 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.
