ABOUT THE MASTER IN ECONOMICS
The Master in Economics endows its students with advanced training in modern economic theory and methods. Courses are taught in English by our faculty recruited from top schools on the international academic job market. In addition to their coursework, master's students interact with the faculty, fellows, and researchers of the Collegio. They have access to the Collegio's facilities and scientific activities, such as seminars, lectures, and doctoral courses.
We are proud of maintaining an excellent placement record for our graduates, both at the professional and academic level. Upon successfully finishing the program the students will be awarded the Master of Arts degree in Economics from the Collegio Carlo Alberto. Master’s graduates can apply for admission to the Vilfredo Pareto Ph.D. program in Economics of the University of Turin.
PLACEMENT
Our Master in Economics graduates follow one of two paths. Some graduates find positions in the financial sector, industry, government, or international organizations. Other graduates pursue a Ph.D. program in Economics.
