Master in Applied Research in Economics and Business

Are you interested in acquiring advanced and rigorous training in business and economics? The main objective of MAREB is to provide you with specialised scientific training, at a both conceptual/theoretical and methodological level, addressed to graduates with a marked academic, professional and research-oriented interest in the field of applied economics and business.

This Master offers high-quality training in economics and business research with analytical and quantitative tools, integrating theoretical knowledge with its application to real economic problems. All students share two modules in Quantitative Research Methods and Applied Economics and Business, followed by an Advanced Topics specialisation module in Business or in Applied Economics. The master is completed with a supervised dissertation consisting of an original piece of research.

This one-year 60 ECTS Master, taught completely in English, offers fields of specialization in two areas:  

a) Research in Business, with particular emphasis on entrepreneurship and management of small and medium enterprises.

b) Research in Applied Economics, focused on the relationship between market performance an public policies

Calendar

Teaching starts in late September 2024 and takes place daily (mostly in the afternoons) until April 2025. Exams are taken at the end of each course. Research on the Master thesis takes place in May and June, with the thesis being defended in early July 2025.

Structure

All students share modules in Quantitative Research Methods and Applied Economics and Business (30 ECTS). Each specialization field then includes a specific 15-ECTS module (Entrepreneurship and SME management in the Entrepreneurship track, and Public Economics and Advanced Topics in Applied Economics in the Applied Economics track). The fourth module of the programme consists of an individual master’s thesis where each student will develop an original piece of research.

Common subjects include Mathematics, Statistics, Multivariate Analysis, Econometrics, Applied Microeconomics, Finance & Entrepreneurship, Applied Macroeconomics and Productivity, Efficiency & Innovation.

Students following the Applied Economics specialisation then take a course on Advanced Econometrics and choose 4 of the following electives: Public Economics, Development Economics, Migration Economics, Labour Economics, Urban Economics  and Environmental Economics. Those in the Entrepreneurship and SME management specialisation take courses on Entrepreneurship & Institutional Economics, New venture growth & strategy in SMEs, International Business Environment & International Entrepreneurship, Qualitative Research Methods in Entrepreneurship & SMEs and Marketing & Networking in SMEs.
