Overview
Why study Economics - International Economics and Development specialisation at Radboud University
- This specialisation pushes your curiosity to understand and evaluate the economic situation in low and middle income countries. You will be taught to look at the bigger picture and to analyse micro-level data. Your analysis will provide information on intra-country or cross-national disparities.
- You will acquire the knowledge and skills to inform both national governments as well as international development organisations, and might lead to programmatic action aimed at bringing about positive changes to people’s lives in the poorest regions of our globe.
- In this specialisation, you will work with one of the world’s largest micro-level database for developing countries. We offer a strong comparative and empirical orientation.
- Economics at Radboud University could be called ‘Economics Plus’: the ‘standard’ economics package is expanded with relevant knowledge from related disciplines such as Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. With this strong theoretical background you will understand not just what is happening, but also why and how.
