10 Academic curriculum The curriculum of KSE is modelled on the best economic analysis, financial and business economics graduate programs in North America and Western Europe. Each academic year is divided into five two-month mini-terms, each with seven weeks of instruction and one week of reading, review, and examination. While the two year programs in Economic Analysis and Financial Economics have a stronger focus on the theory, the one year program in business economics focuses more on applications. M.A. in Economic Analysis and M.A. in Financial Economics First-Year curriculum The first-year curriculum consists of year-long sequences in the core economic courses Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Statistics & Econometrics, Mathematics for Economists and a two mini-term sequence in Transition Economics. Second-Year curriculum At the beginning of the second year of studies, students have an opportunity to choose between the M.A. in Economic Analysis and the M.A. in Financial Economics. In order to earn a master s degree, second-year students are required to take a majority of courses in the selected field of studies and a smaller set of courses from the other master s program. Furthermore, students pursuing either of the offered master s should take four mandatory courses in Research & Economic Policy Analysis, one in Thesis Writing Methods, two mini-terms of English language, and defend a thesis, written in English, on a topic related to their field of study.

11 M.A. in Business Economics The courses of the MA in business economics focus on the practical application of economic and financial tools to business. Practitioners are often invited to the courses to provide real life case studies. Students of the M.A. in Business Economics choose between having an internship in the private sector or write a thesis in English, on a topic related to their field of study.
