Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to announce the 2020/2021 edition of the Master of Science in Economics at the Department of Economics and Finance of Tor Vergata University of Rome. I would be grateful if you could help me spread the information about our program and recommend us to your most talented and motivated students.

The MSc Economics (LM-56) is a two-year graduate program entirely taught in English and designed for highly qualified students. It provides students with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the concepts, tools and methods of economics, together with the application of these methods to the analysis of economic problems.

We are committed to providing our students with high quality teaching from some of the best in the Department, which was recognized as a department of excellence by the MIUR. We have already prepared contingency plans, including options for studying remotely, in the event that our standard practices must be changed due to the COVID-19 epidemic. An important characteristic of the program is that we follow our students closely. They are provided with academic support and a personal tutor who follows them throughout the entire program. Moreover, annual extra-curricular initiatives are organized to strengthen their professional skills and to allow easy access to employment or further academic opportunities.

We offer study grants for the best students enrolling in the first year as well as monetary awards to the best-performing first-year students. Selected second-year students have the opportunity to attend a Dual Degree Program in partnership with the University of Gothenburg or the University of Konstanz. Additional funding is also awarded to students to encourage participation in Summer Schools, database purchases, GRE test and MATLAB Associate Level Certification.

The MSc Economics is the ideal program for those who want to acquire advanced analytical skills to pursue a career in national and international institutions, or who want to prepare for a Ph.D. program in Economics. The excellent placement of our graduates may be consulted on the employment statistics page and on the Alumni page of our website.

Applications are currently open for the 2020/2021 academic year. The application deadline is June 30, 2020 for non-EU students and August 16, 2020 for EU students. The Call for applications is available here, feel free to share this link with interested candidates and other colleagues from your institution.

I will be available to provide additional information during the Online Open Day on June 16, 2020 at 5pm on Microsoft Teams.

Best regards,
