Master in Economics

Tuition fees are 584 USD per year.

Economics is a two-year master's program taught in English at Università degli Studi di Sassari, in Sassari, Italy. Economics as a discipline studies how individuals, firms and governments allocate scarce resources, and how markets, prices and institutions shape production, consumption and distribution. Students in a program of this kind typically work through microeconomics and macroeconomics at an advanced level, alongside econometrics, statistics and the quantitative methods used to test economic theories against real data. Coursework commonly extends into applied fields such as international economics, public economics, labor economics, monetary policy and industrial organization, giving graduates a broad toolkit for analyzing economic behavior across different sectors and countries. Because the degree is taught in English, it is designed to welcome international students alongside Italian ones, with coursework, assignments and assessments conducted in English throughout the two years. A master's-level economics program generally builds on a bachelor's foundation, deepening theoretical models and adding more rigorous mathematical and statistical training, often culminating in a thesis or research project on a chosen topic within the field. Graduates of economics master's programs commonly pursue careers in banking, financial services, consulting, corporate strategy and analytics roles, as well as positions in government agencies, international organizations and research institutes. Others continue toward doctoral study if they wish to pursue academic or policy research careers. The analytical and quantitative skills developed through the study of economics, including data interpretation, modeling and critical evaluation of policy questions, are transferable across many industries beyond economics itself, from technology to public administration. Studying in Sassari places students within the Italian university system while completing coursework entirely in English.
