Description of the curriculum

The curriculum in Development Economics can be tailored to a Quantitative Analysis for Developing Economies, which equips students with advanced quantitative methods and skills for studying economic development phenomena or it can be oriented towards Development Studies, with a less technical and more interdisciplinary approach. It provides an ideal background for pursuing a PhD programme (in Development Economics and related topics) at leading universities around the world or for work as a professional development economist in national and international agencies, civil service appointments, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and private sector companies with interests in developing countries.
