MSc in Economic and Social Sciences

This program provides a solid foundation in quantitative methods and economic theory: graduates will develop the ability to interpret the economic and social processes that are typical at all stages of development. Its main strength is its interdisciplinarity, achieved through both flexibility in the selection of electives and the organization of ad-hoc events. Students can customize their study path considerably, depending on their interests and research areas. Students also benefit from close interaction with faculty and research centers at Bocconi, with the possibility of being involved in research projects in economics or other social sciences. They can also apply to attend PhD-level Bocconi courses as electives. Career opportunities are mainly focused in professions with strong research content within corporations, international organizations, public or private research centers, consulting firms, regulatory authorities, central banking, other professions requiring strong analytical skills within consultancies and financial institutions, as well as professional academic careers in the areas of economics, statistical analysis, economic history, social sciences and applied mathematics.
