Msc. in Economics

The Master of Science in Economics at the University of Mannheim is widely regarded as Germany's leading economics master's programme, supported by a Department of Economics that consistently places in the European top five. The fully English-taught, two-year programme is built on advanced coursework in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and mathematics, followed by three specialisation tracks: the general Economics Track, the Competition and Regulation (CaRE) Track combining economics with legal analysis, and the Research Track providing a structured pathway into doctoral studies. Admission requires a bachelor's grade of 2.5 or better on the German scale alongside a motivation letter and an academic essay; no standardised test is required. With no tuition fees for EU/EEA students and strong placement in central banks, government ministries, and consulting firms, the programme is a top-tier option for quantitatively oriented students targeting international economics careers.
