This master's programme in Economics is offered in English at Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata" in Roma, Italy, and runs for two years. Economics as a discipline studies how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, and how markets, prices, and policies shape production, consumption, and distribution. At the graduate level, students typically build on undergraduate foundations in microeconomics and macroeconomics with more advanced theory, econometrics, and applied quantitative methods, learning to model economic behavior and to test hypotheses against real data. Coursework in a programme of this kind commonly spans topics such as international economics, monetary and fiscal policy, industrial organization, labor economics, development economics, and financial economics, alongside statistical and econometric tools used to analyze markets and policy outcomes. Students refine skills in data analysis, economic modeling, and written and oral argumentation, which are applicable across research, public policy, and private-sector settings. Graduates of economics master's programmes commonly pursue careers in banking and finance, consulting, corporate strategy, government agencies, international organizations, and research institutes, or continue toward doctoral study. Because the degree is research-oriented, many programmes also emphasize independent inquiry through a thesis, requiring students to formulate an economic question, review relevant literature, and apply appropriate methods to reach a reasoned conclusion. Studying economics in Roma places students in Italy's capital, a city that is also a hub for public administration, international institutions, and business, offering context relevant to the study of economic policy. As the programme is taught in English, it is designed to be accessible to an international student body seeking an economics qualification from an Italian university without requiring Italian language proficiency.
