THE EPOG MASTER’S COURSE: OBJECTIVES
Issues and challenges raised by the financial, economic
and social crisis require a consistent rethinking of the
basis of economic policies. They imply an increasing
need for well-integrated economic expertise for the
management of these policies.
The main objective of the EPOG Master’s Course is to
give birth to a new generation of international experts for:
public institutions, private sector and non governmental
organisations (associations, trade-unions..), able to define
and assess economic policies, and evolve within different
political, social and regional contexts.
It aims to:
• provide an expertise in a specific field of economic
policy (as usually done in existing Masters in economics)
• enable students to get a global perspective on interde-
pendencies and interactions between economic policies
• develop their own opinion and perspective of contem-
porary economic policy.
It includes multidisciplinary contributions (law, sociology, geography and history, etc.) all of which are necessary in the context of current changes in the global economy.
The EPOG programme is based on institutional and holistic approaches of economic policies. It has been created thanks to the collaboration and complementarity of eight prestigious universities, which offer excellent, recognised and well established Master’s courses in political economy.
