Self-Assessment

In line with the contents taught, we require students to have an in-depth background in economics and its methods in order to be successful in the program “Economic Behavior & Governance”. When assessing your application, we count the credits you acquired in courses that relate to our understanding of economics.

Courses of the following two categories below help you to get qualified:

• Courses of category ECON
• Courses of category METHODS

If your Bachelor thesis deals with a topic belonging to category ECON, treat it like an additional ECON course and add it to the list. DO NOT add categories related to the following fields of studies.
