Opportunities

How to explain the strategy of companies such as AirBnB or Uber?

Should an employer pay employees according to the results achieved?

How to reduce poverty and inequality in emerging countries?

What is the impact of aging on the viability of our pension system?

Should we allow free choice of school in Belgium?

How do we define and measure the prosperity of a region, a country...?

Could the Euro crisis have been avoided?

These are just some of the concrete economic and social questions you'll be asked to solve as economists.

Your objectives

develop a global vision of an economic situation: "Helicopter view and Strategic thinking". Analyze data with precision, detect the causes and consequences of an action;
participate in the development of new ways of organizing companies, institutions or society as a whole;
acquire international experience;
work in teams with specialists from other disciplines.

The advantages of training at UNamur

A Master's degree with an international reputation
A curriculum 100% in English
If you wish, you can take all Master's courses in English. This opportunity enables you to acquire an excellent command of professional English in an international student environment.
Erasmus exchanges
Take advantage of a four-quarter study stay at a foreign university in Europe or beyond!
A double degree
For the most motivated, double degree programs exist: you spend a year abroad at a prestigious university and a year in Belgium, and you get both degrees at the end of your two years. Double degrees include a master's degree with specialization in finance in Geneva, a master's degree in economics and politics in Milan, a master's degree in European economics with Maastricht University, and many others.
A collaboration with KULeuven
You also have the opportunity to take courses in English in a significant number of areas of economics at KULeuven.

The program

Courses, case studies, meetings with professionals, group work, internships in Belgium or abroad... everything is done to ensure the development of your expertise.

By choosing the specialized finalization, you are trained for the profession of economist, engaged in economic and social life.

Options

Thanks to co-organization with UCLouvain, you graduate from both universities!

This master's degree offers you an unrivalled choice of options and courses. It's up to you to choose the areas that interest you.

Economists' professions

Between strategy, consulting and decision-making

As economists, you approach the complex realities of companies, institutions and society with nuance, and propose economic models adapted to their new organizational modes.

You cooperate with specialists from other disciplines and master multilingual communication and the international dimension of your projects.

Sensitive to the human and ethical dimensions of economic and social issues, you measure the interdependencies between the decisions of multiple players and develop opportunities for cooperation.

Some examples of professions

As recent graduates, you are often inserted into the management of a project. Working alone or as part of a team, you provide analyses or propose actions to achieve a given objective, within a set timeframe, with available resources or whose mobilization you organize. Your excellent analytical skills, your sense of communication, your knowledge of foreign languages, your international outlook and above all your desire to learn are
also important assets for many professions.

Finance

The financial sector (banking, insurance, administration...) is the leading employer for our graduates. Every company, from family-run SMEs to multinationals, needs reliable financial indicators to draw up realistic budgets and plans. The range of professions open to those with a passion for numbers is wide:

Financial analysis: dissecting balance sheets, evaluating credits, advising investors;
Customer advice in a credit organization;
Internal auditing: verifying internal procedures for good governance and generating reliable financial statements;
External auditing: verification of the quality and accuracy of financial information provided;
risk management: the assessment and modeling of all risks likely to weigh on an organization;
fund accounting: daily calculation of the inventory value of several investment funds;
etc..

Commerce and distribution

Negotiating, obtaining the best prices, prospecting for new suppliers, monitoring the development of new packaging, optimizing the routing of products to customers... so many missions with responsibilities relating to sales and distribution. Alongside strictly sales-oriented companies such as supermarkets, industries and certain service companies also offer numerous career opportunities in purchasing, marketing and logistics.

Socio-economic analysis and political decision-making

In public administrations, in the non-profit world, in mutual societies or political parties, in trade union organizations, development aid agencies or business federations, etc., economics graduates observe and analyze the socio-economic situation. By issuing opinions and advice, they participate in the implementation and operation of policies and legislation.

Research and teaching

Some graduates pursue a research activity in Belgium or abroad. They complete a doctorate or take part in a research program. Several alumni pass on their knowledge in secondary, higher and continuing education.

Job search assistance

The Employment Unit supports final-year Master's students and recent graduates in their career paths, via a number of services: distribution of job and internship offers, orientation interviews, workshops on themes linked to professional integration, information and documentation on the world of work.
