Industrial Economics (M.Sc.)

About

The Industrial Economics masters program is dedicated to both advanced economic methods in theoretical and empirical industrial economy and experimental economics. The program particularly focuses on the economic analysis of markets, particularly in the net-based sectors of telecommunications and internet, transport, energy, waste, water/waste water, and health. The following topic areas and issues are of particular interest: competition and regulations, financing and investment, industrial organization, infrastructure policy, planning and ecological effects, and business strategies.

The Industrial Economics master's study program allows you to create an individual profile tailored towards a specific sector. As a graduate, you are able to use advanced methods to analyze economic problems in network industries and infrastructure markets and provide economic recommendations for action to regulate these markets.

As teaching and research are closely linked in this study program, you will improve your ability to think scientifically and hone your judgment skills. By working with advanced methods of industrial economics, you are able to consider socio-political problem areas, such as gender aspects. Furthermore, you are capable of independently understanding and learning about new problems and assignments. The strong practical relevance of the study program enables you to implement theory into practice and further develop it as well as constructively find solutions in teams with incomplete information and under time constraints.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

In order to apply to the Industrial Economics masters program, you must provide proof of a first university degree in the fields of economics or a related study program.

A study program is considered a related study program when it consists of the following:

at least 18 credit points from the field of quantitative methods (e.g. math, statistics, econometrics)
at least 18 credit points from the field of microeconomics (e.g. game theory, microeconomics, industrial economics)

The Industrial Economics masters program is taught in German. If you are applying with a foreign school-leaving certificate, you must provide proof of German skills at a specific level.

As some courses/modules, particularly the compulsory modules, are offered in English, English skills are a prerequisite for admission. Thus, you must provide proof of English skills at the B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages or equivalent.

A ranking list is created for all applicants who fulfill the admission requirements. It weighs both the final grade of your previous degree and awards points based on certain criteria. Up to 100 points are awarded according to the following criteria:

40 points for at least 24 credits in the field of quantitative methods (e.g. math, statistics, econometrics) or 60 points for at least 30 credits in this field
40 points for at least 24 credits in the field of microeconomics (e.g. game theory, microeconomics, industrial economics)

If you have taken these subjects as part of your bachelors degree, you will have an easier transition to masters studies, but they are not a formal requirement for admission.
