European Economic Policy (German)
Economic policy in focus: Master's programme in Berlin and Vienna
The Joint Degree Program European Economic Policy (Master) with HTW Berlin trains you to become a European expert at the interface between business and politics!
The Master Programme European Economic Policy offers you an international, interdisciplinary and applied education, during which you will expand your network!
- Internationality: You will study in two central capitals for issues of European economic policy, Berlin and Vienna. In the course of your studies, you will get to know the workings of institutions and local authorities in both federal capitals!
- Interdisciplinarity: The interface between economics and political science characterizes this degree programme. You will learn about economic policy issues from a pluralistic economic perspective and link them to political science perspectives at the heart of European integration.
Applied education: You will study in direct interplay between science and practice. During your studies you will get to know experts from national and international institutions and local authorities, enter into direct discourse and receive academic support from excellent teachers and researchers from economics and political science.
Two universities - one joint programme
You will study in two European capitals - Vienna and Berlin - and get to know national and international institutions. You will study in a Joint Degree Programme (Master), a joint program between HTW Berlin and FH BFI Vienna, and complete your in-depth semester 1 (summer semester: 2nd semester of your 4-semester Master programme) in Vienna and the in-depth semester 2 (winter semester: 3rd semester of your 4-semester Master programme) in Berlin together with your colleagues from the HTW Berlin! You will therefore get to know different perspectives and viewpoints within the European (Monetary) Union.
You will receive a degree (Master of Arts: MA) from both universities through this innovative structure of the programme!
Focus on economics and politics
The focus of the studies is on the interface between two disciplines:
- Political science with a focus on European integration
- Economics from a pluralistic perspective
What is the added value of this view?
You will be able to analyze applied questions of economic policy with regard to their relevance for political science. You know the necessary methodological tools to write policy papers and statements concisely and to communicate them to their stakeholders.
Depending on your area of interest, you can specialise in a socio-political or institutional perspective during your studies and apply your selected approach to current issues.
