Economic Policies for the Global Transition University Paris Cité

Overview

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree in Economic Policies for the Global Transition from University Paris Cité concept relies on the fact that designing, implementing and assessing economic policies for the required (digital, socioeconomic and ecological) transition processes requires experts and highly trained researchers with knowledge and skills in specific fields, combined with a broader understanding of economic policy interdependencies.

What you'll study

The uniqueness of the EPOG+ program relies on this “systemic/holistic” approach, i.e., the ability to offer each student a specific field of study related to the chosen Major:

A- Knowledge, innovation and digital transition; 

B- Macroeconomics, finance and the socioeconomic transition; 

C- Development, sustainable development and the ecological transition, together with courses, seminars and activities related to the other Majors. 

By reconciling these two dimensions, graduates will be better prepared to address the related challenges, to bridge the academic and policy communities.

It involves more than 40 partners, associate partners in Europe and around the world.

Skills and competencies developed

• The knowledge, skills and competences of EPOG+ graduates includes:
  • A state-of-the-art knowledge and expertise in one of the main fields of economic policy (related to Majors A, B and C) and within a common perspective (institutional and interdisciplinary approaches to globalisation).
  • An in-depth “systemic” understanding of the interactions among economic policies (related to the two courses and the joint seminars provided to entire cohort);
  • The unique corresponding skills and competences, in particular, the ability to deal with the complex and systemic interactions among economic policies and to work in an international and cosmopolitan context.

Graduates should have a critical awareness of the problems related to global transition processes. They should be able to work on complex, varied issues and adapt to different opinions and backgrounds in a team. They should be able to provide informed and fair assessments of the various solutions. Graduates must be able to propose hypotheses and ideas that go beyond the restatement or reproduction of past knowledge. They should be able to present their own views in a clear and succinct manner, and respond to objections in a firm, but diplomatic way.

Learning outcomes also includes French language skills and possibly skills in the language of the country the student visits.
