PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Lead the market into the future

Technology is more and more deeply embedded in the fabric of lives. In this rapidly-changing world, the economic sector is crossing new frontiers. It needs pioneers to navigate the maze of artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, and big data that traditional economics does not account for. Unlike in other programs, at IE you will learn about the impact of automation, e-platforms, and circular economies on societies, governments and businesses.

Learn to juggle the world’s social, technological and economic actors

It’s no longer enough to be an expert in one single discipline. The economic sector needs professionals who can apply their knowledge of economic analysis to practical policy decisions. Today’s economy is a complex web of interwoven sectors. Have the power to reshape our world by taking courses in tech, public policy and governance. By matching this knowledge with skills in computing and data science, as well as an in-depth knowledge of public sector systems, you’ll be at the forefront of a new generation of change.

See the human face of economics

New research is progressively dismantling traditional logic-based economic theory. In today’s information age, being at the forefront of cutting-edge economics means understanding irrational and unpredictable human behavior. In this bachelor’s, you will explore and study behavioral economics, experimental economics and behavioral nudging, predicting the unpredictable.

Understand all sides of the economy

There is no society without an economy. Economics are ingrained in everything from governance to conflict—both locally and globally. An economist’s role is to understand the interplay between political organizations and economic powers, and how this defines international relations. Our comprehensive course covers public affairs, governance, trade and crisis management, and will train your eyes to look at the complex and opaque world with smart, problem-solving glasses.

You will have the expertise needed become an economic consultant ready to understand individuals’ needs, and propose actions to satisfy them by optimizing the allocation of limited resources.

Policy developers review, improve and implement policies and strategies on a variety of matters related to the economic development of companies and governments.
