First semester

Students start with two foundation courses on business behaviour: Strategy and either Markets & Organisations or Advanced Industrial Organisation.
Parallel to this they gain knowledge in the specialisation courses Applied Econometrics and European Competition Law. Courses in law will be taught at the Faculty of Law, which gives them opportunity to interact with another discipline.
At the end of the semester, they are fully prepared to take on the applied course Empirical Market Analysis.

Second semester

The second semester starts with the two complementary specialisation courses: Competition Policy and Applied Industrial Organization. These focus on several landmark competition cases and the economic theory of harm that is at the heart of them. Students learn to apply theoretical and empirical industrial organization.
Throughout the semester, they work on your thesis research, for which we offer thesis seminars to help the processes of formulating a clear and interesting novel research project, embedded in the existing literature, developing proper models and collecting and analysing data.
Students have the freedom to integrate their thesis writing with an internship and/or a period of studies abroad. The track concludes with their submission of the final thesis in the summer.
