Programme profile
The linchpin of the innovative study plan is that individual behavior is not only determined by mere economic factors (how much I profit from a decision) but also by psychological traits (how emotions and cognitive limits shape actual decisions) and social norms (how the behavior of others, and shared common values, affect one’s decision).
This is a BSc in economics, but it is highly interdisciplinary in nature and grounded in solid quantitative and methodological foundations. With its particular blend of economic, quantitative and social science topics, this innovative program finds synergies among subjects, to attain different perspectives on leading international economic issues.
The programme is among the pioneers in Europe in proposing a new integrated view of economics and social sciences, blending various disciplines. Today, sociologists make use of game theory. Demographers use economic models to analyze population dynamics. Economists talk about crime and incentives, analyzing the mind like both philosophers and psychologists do, study social stratification, and the like.
* Financial aid is available. It is usually assigned based on the family's economic condition.
