Description:

The Master's Programme in Economics at the University of Helsinki is social-science oriented and more mathematical and quantitative than at other Finnish universities.

It offers diverse opportunities to study different methods of economics. Consequently, an economics degree from the University of Helsinki is highly valued in the job market.

The highly demanding programme includes two study tracks: the general track with a quantitative emphasis quite similar to other international Master’s Programmes and the research track which prepares students for doctoral studies in Economics.

Why Economics?

When studying in the Master's Programme in Economics, you benefit from the economic expertise of three universities: University of Helsinki, Aalto University and Hanken School of Economics. Together, they form the Helsinki Graduate School of Economics (Helsinki GSE), a teaching and research unit providing the most extensive selection of economics courses in Finland.

Upon completing the Master's Programme in Economics at the University of Helsinki, you are awarded the Master of Social Sciences degree, and will have gained the following skills:

  • profound knowledge of economic theory and familiarity with scientific economic literature,
  • the ability to apply economic theory to solving practical problems and interpreting economic phenomena,
  • familiarity with econometric methods and the ability to apply them to practical research problems,
  • the ability to collect and interpret empirical data,
  • the ability to communicate conclusions and assess the significance of the assumptions made for them,
  • fluency in communicating economic issues to different domestic and international audiences as well as the capability to work independently and in multidisciplinary cooperation,
  • readiness to assess your own professional performance and systematically develop it, and
  • knowledge of sources of economic information and the ability to adopt new tools of economic analysis.

The Master's Programme in Economics prepares you for a career as an economist in business, financial markets and the public sector.

Courses and teaching:

When studying in the Master's Programme in Economics, you can take economics courses from each of the three Helsinki GSE universities: Aalto University, Hanken School of Economics and University of Helsinki.

The courses cover all the main fields of economics and are tailored to enable our students to learn the essential core of economics at an advanced level while providing them with the possibility to tailor their education according to their specific interests.
