AFEPA Programme - Mobility, Courses and Dates
Study Plan
The AFEPA Master's programme is a 120 ECTS programme. Our students study a minimum of two semesters at a first main partner university and another two semesters at a second main partner university including Master thesis. All our students participate in two joint summer schools organized by main partner universities.
AFEPA Partners
AFEPA students spend their two academic years in the programme at main partner universities at which the second year is different from first year university.
Academic Calendar
The AFEPA academic year generally lasts from September 1 until August 31 of the following year but varies according to the academic calendar of the individual partner university.
Mobility tracks
All four main partner universities in the programme can be first-year and second-year universities. You are free to choose your first-year university based on your academic interest. First-year students will be asked in December of their first year to voice their preference for their second year.
The ultimate decision is made by the AFEPA consortium considering the universities’ minimum requirements with regard to ECTS in economics, student’s academic performance, its research interests and a fairly even distribution of students among partner universities in addition to the student’s preference.
The study programme consists of:
- Mandatory courses in microeconomic theory and quantitative methods - 30 ECTS
- Optional courses in thematic fields - 54 ECTS (optional courses may form a major of 30 ECTS in a thematic field)
- Master Thesis - 30 ECTS
- An internship between or during the first or second year may be taken for a 6 to 15 ECTS depending on the partner university
- Summer School - 6 ECTS
