Course content

The Master’s specialisation in International Economics and Development is unique in that we deal with the problems that poor countries face, as well as with interesting new developments taking place in the Global South. In this specialisation, you will discuss the rise of the BRIC countries, concentrating on their potential and the challenges they face. Unique new economic phenomena within developing countries will also be examined. Using recent theoretical insights and modern empirical methods, you will be actively involved in comparative research on issues in developing countries such as the impact of globalisation on economic growth, corruption, the education of children, child labour and women’s empowerment.
