ZSEM Master of Arts in Economics - Grants available

MA in Economics is a two year program comprised of basic courses in the fields of macroeconomics, microeconomics, econometrics, quantitative methods and finance, taught in most advanced graduate programs in USA and Europe. The classes will be taught in English, Classes will be in afternoon and the program will start in March.

The goal of our graduate program is to educate highly-qualified economists whilst stressing the importance of quantitative methods. As this type of graduate program remains virtually nonexistent within the bounds of the South East Europe, the knowledge acquired will put students who complete this program in a better position on the labor market, giving them a comparative advantage over others.
 

Educated at leading universities and working at renowned institutions, our faculty is capable and determined to offer you a perfect combination of applied and theoretical knowledge in economics that is comparable with the best master programs in the field. The faculty is consistent from lecturers who worked or studied at some of the most renowned world institutions, such as the Bocconi University, London School of Economics, North Carolina University, University of Pompeu Fabra, Autonomous University of Barcelona, CERGE, University of Wisconsin, Southampton Universitiy, University of Ljubljana, the IMF, or the Croatian National Bank (CNB). The Chairman of the Program is dr.sc. Neven Mates, multiple IMF mission chief (including Russia) and the Chief Advisor to the Governor of CNB.
