The globalization of markets and the change in competition policies in the industrial sectors have caused national and international industrial structures to undergo a great deal of change in the short and medium term. In facing the challenges these changes entail, developed and developing countries are in need for experts in industrial Economics with the high-quality training this Master's Degree provides. The objective of this program is to produce such experts through solid training in three key areas: Industrial Organization, Business Economics and Quantitative Economic Analysis.
This Master's in Industrial Economics and Markets is a two-year program. The first year consists of courses on Microeconomics, Quantitative Economic Analysis, Finance, and Business Economics, common to all specializations in this program. The second year offers core courses in Industrial Organization (Regulation and Competition Economics), and three areas of specialization on the Economic Sectors of Energy, Transport, and Telecommunications, as well as a dissertation.

In addition four more courses are offered starting on September, December, February, and May.

- PRACTICAL INFORMATION
- INTERNATIONAL
Qualified students could apply for financial support by the Erasmus Program.
Option A: European Mobility with recognition of ECTS
Selected students in this program will have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad with credit recognition (ECTS) in any of the European universities that the University and the Master has exchange agreements with. The stay will be in the first semester of the second year. This is an opportunity to obtain a unique international curriculum. Students will receive formal recognition for their academic study period abroad in the transcript of records.
Option B: International Complement
At the end of the regular master program, students may opt to spend a placement period of 3-6 months in another European school studying complementary disciplines, such as Marketing, Finance, Management, Information Systems or Accountancy, or just deepen into Economics.
Having the opportunity to go to another European university within an international program allows the students to complement their training, in addition to having the experience of living in a different country, as well as in a different university environment.
Students receive formal recognition for their academic study period abroad in the transcript of records and in the degree certificate.
Currently, the University has exchange agreements at Master level in the area of Economics and Business Administration with the following universities:
- Maastricht University (Holanda)
- Audencia Nantes School of Management (Francia)
- Tilburg University (Holanda)
- Humboldt- Universitat zu Berlin (Alemania)
- Copenhagen Business School (Dinamarca)
