Three different track options available for graduate students

Apart from MSc and PhD programs that mainly follow the standard Economics curricula, the Economics Department also designed three different track options for graduate students who wish to pursue expertise in specific research areas.

Note that tracks are opt-out by default. This means that a graduate student is considered to be in the standard program unless a track option is preferred to be followed by the student.

Moreover, following a track is non-binding. This means that a graduate student who chooses to follow a track can later on decide to graduate without completing the track. Similarly, a graduate student in the standard program can later on decide to complete the requirement of a track.

Track options:

1.         Development Economics

2.         Political Economy

3.         Islamic Economics

Track requirements:

1.         Completion of an additional course (required by the track chosen)

2.         Writing thesis/dissertation in a research area compatible with the track chosen

Track benefits:

1.         Specialization in a research area

2.         Acquiring more in-dept knowledge in a specific research area

3.         Supplement to the graduate diploma that indicates the track followed
