Why enroll in the Analysis and Policy in Economics program?

This program allows students to acquire advanced analytical skills and develop a critical view of contemporary economic issues.

APE provides participants with the tools to understand the complex mechanisms that govern markets, public policies and the behaviour of economic agents.

In addition, it is a springboard for many professional opportunities in the private, public and academic sectors. By developing expertise in this area, you will be able to actively participate in the advancement of economic knowledge and the formulation of more effective and equitable public policies.

I consider the Master’s program to be a good first step before a PhD, as the M2 provides valuable experience in conducting effective analysis and understanding research work processes. […] I just finished my PhD and decided to accept an Environmental and Sectorial Economist position at Société Générale.
