After holding my BSc in Mathematics, I was searching a strong program that I could be able to progress my thinking and expand my sphere of knowledge. The MSc in Economics (specialization economic theory) program combines elements from pure mathematical theories and contexts (mathematical analysis, probability theory, differential calculus, game theory)   with the fundamentals of economics (macro –micro economics, econometrics) using the most update computational methods (MATLAB, R) for empirical and predictive analysis. Professors are of superior level working in the front line of high quality research with continuous contact with the best international universities across the U.S. and Europe. The classmates – colleagues are high qualified students coming across different backgrounds and academic environments. After the 1 year full time programme, the students will obtain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of economic thinking.  They will be well prepared for a precious academic career as well as for a strong and qualified entry in the job market. I highly recommend it!

When I finished my undergraduate studies at the AUEB Department of Economics I decided to apply to the MSc program with specialization in Economic Theory. This decision proved to be critical.

In particular, the curriculum offered by the MSc program in Economic Theory is of a high standard and similar to those offered by MSc programs in Economics in reputable universities abroad. The courses in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics and Mathematics helped me develop my critical thinking and analytical abilities, and become a better economist in the end.

In addition, I had the opportunity to work at a higher level with the very experienced and skillful in their teaching and research professors of the MSc program. Thus, the high-level curriculum and the help of the department professors led me to initially explore, then pursue, and eventually achieve my acceptance into the Yale Economics PhD program.

Hence, I highly recommend the MSc in Economics program.
