Economics - Qualifier Economics
The MSc Qualifier in Economics is designed for graduates who wish to be admitted to one of our Master programme but do not meet the entry requirements. The MSc Qualifier is therefore not a diploma per se. It is only a first step to be potentially eligible for our Masters programmes. Note that the minimum entry requirement for our Masters is an overall GPA of 3.08 in the MSc Qualifier programme.
Please note that all lectures are during daytime, Monday to Friday.
The program comprises of 30 ECTS credits, 6 modules. The curriculum is personalized and it depends on the economic courses taken and the grades achieved in these during the previous studies. The modules each prospective student will take are discussed and agreed with the programme coordinator on an individual basis.
