Master Economie Appliquee

Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour offers a Master Economie Appliquee in Pau, a two-year program in applied economics taught in French. Applied economics focuses on using economic theory and quantitative methods to analyze real-world problems, typically covering subjects such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and statistics, along with applications to areas like labor markets, industry, public policy, or regional development depending on the track chosen. Students generally learn to build and interpret economic models, analyze data, and use these tools to inform decisions in business or policy settings. Coursework often blends theoretical economic training with more practical, data-driven analysis, giving graduates skills that combine analytical reasoning with quantitative methods. Graduates of applied economics programs commonly move into roles such as economic analyst, policy advisor, market researcher, or positions within banks, consulting firms, and public institutions that require economic expertise. The applied focus of the degree tends to make graduates well suited to roles that require translating economic analysis into practical recommendations, rather than purely theoretical research. The program starts in September and runs for two years, with instruction delivered entirely in French, so applicants should have strong French language skills along with an undergraduate background in economics or a related quantitative field. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Based in Pau, a city in southwestern France near the Pyrenees, the program offers a regional setting outside the larger metropolitan areas. Prospective students should be comfortable with both economic theory and statistical analysis.
