The Master of Science in Economics at LMU Munich is a fully English-taught, two-year programme delivered by the Faculty of Economics, consistently ranked first in Germany for economics and econometrics (QS 2025). Built on advanced coursework in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and mathematics, the programme prepares graduates for demanding analytical roles in government, central banks, international organisations, consulting, and academia through three tracks: the general Economics Track, the Competition and Regulation (CaRE) Track for law-and-economics careers, and the Research Track designed as a fast-route into doctoral studies. Admission requires a minimum bachelor's grade of 2.5 on the German scale and an in-person written admission test covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, empirical economics, and mathematical methods.
