 The master economics aims at students who are intrinsically motivated in seeing and understanding how the economy works and how you can apply these insights in companies but also for public policy makers. You get access demand and then you get rationing. So we train you to become an economic analyst, an economist for short or maybe an economist, the person who can demystify what happens in the economy. And this is the useful thing you need if you're working in a company or for a public agency. You need to look beyond the borders of this organization and understand what's going on in the global economy. I was looking for good economics master's programs to apply to until work is a really great reputation. The variety of classes that I could take were really interesting to me. Unique in the program is the small scale, highly interactive international classroom. In the unique specialization tracks we have a track on pensions and aging and we have four other specialization patterns but you can also, if you want, choose your own course program to tailor it to your own specific interests or the job profile you're aiming at. Most of the courses are very challenging, you need to have a background in economics as well, you need to have some mathematical skills. What sort of student would really work in Tilburg is someone who is smart, motivated and enjoys working with others and learns a lot from group interactions. With your master's degree you are likely to end up as a policy advisor, as a market analyst, as a consultant, maybe assessing mergers or evaluating mergers. You might also become a portfolio manager in a bank, an investment bank, especially using your insights from practical finance and analytical economics. What I like most about the program is the flexibility that it offers in terms of designing your own courses and what you want to study. I'm surrounded by a lot of smart, motivated people and I learn a lot by discussing things with them and it's a very diverse student body as well. I would like to start working abroad if I could do it, at least for maybe a couple of years. I would really like that. So maybe for a big international organization like the IMF, the World Bank.
