Economics

Economics aims to deepen the understanding of how markets function, and the implications for strategic behavior by the various market participants.

The world economy has been in big turmoil over the past years. The world economy became increasingly more integrated, when markets for many goods and even services got an international scope. This allowed firms to expand and open economies to flourish. But also the risks and problems of international integration have become apparent. The Master's Program in Economics at Tilburg University aims to deepen your understanding of how markets function, when they fail, and what are the implications for strategic behavior by the various market participants, including companies, market organizations, and the government. You can choose among four tracks within the Master's: Competition and regulation; Socioeconomic policy; Resources, development and growth; and International economics and finance. You are trained to handle the complex and dynamic problems of the modern economy and are taught how to gather, process, and analyze information, and how to communicate the results of the analysis in an effective way.
