Annotation
The Master's degree programme in Economic Behaviour and Governance (EB&Go) emphasises the main research areas of the faculty at the Institute of Economics. The objective is to provide students with profound knowledge in behavioural economics with a strong focus on applied research questions. We introduce students to advanced theories in the field of behavioural economics and governance and to empirical methods. Furthermore, we train them to apply these theories and methods to analyse problems in contemporary economic policy. The graduates have a broad range of job opportunities, including careers in government and public administration, supranational organisations, multinational firms, research, and higher education. Part-time study is quite possible due to the course of study in this degree course. Upon request, you can register for part-time studies in accordance with Section 19 (2) Hesse Higher Education Act (HessHG). The specific provisions for part-time studies will then apply. Counselling by the subject-specific student advice service is recommended.
