About the programme

Fascinating economic theory, data analysis, applied to real-world, global, socio-political-economic situations

This programme equips you with cutting-edge economic theory and data analysis skills to tackle real-world socio-political and economic challenges across global contexts. You’ll learn how to support evidence-based decision-making as a policy advisor, market analyst, or macroeconomic expert — whether in multinational companies, governments, or international organisations.

Applicants typically have a background in economics, mathematics, or finance, but students from business-related fields with solid quantitative foundations are also welcome.

Student - Economic Analysis

My time at Corvinus University has been instrumental in preparing me for the professional world. As a Research Analyst intern at Diligent, and later as a Treasury, Tax, and Investor Relations intern at Wizz Air, I was able to directly apply the theoretical knowledge from my Economic Analysis studies. These experiences not only strengthened my analytical abilities but also helped me grow as a leader and team player. The combination of hands-on internships and practical coursework has been key to my development, positioning me for success in the financial industry.
