Overview

Key Features

The Economics, Data and Policy (1 year) program from Central European University (CEU) prepares the students for a rigorous PhD in Economics or Finance, or a public or private sector job focusing on research and data analysis. The “Global Economic Policy” track gives students a broader view of economics and thus prepares them for public or private sector jobs related to economic policy and also for PhD’s in related fields like Development Economics, Public Policy, Labor Economics, and Political Science.

Learning outcomes

The program is intended to provide students with the skills required of a 21st century economist and prepare them for a broad range of careers from government and research to the private sector.

Upon completion of the program, all students are expected to possess the following skills:

Solid analytical foundations in microeconomics and macroeconomics
Command of basic statistical (data science) concepts and software needed to analyze economic data
Some familiarity with the economic policy process and ability to debate economic policy issues
