The Master’s in International and Development Economics (MIDE) is a 18-month, full-time programme in the Department of Economics and Law at the University of Applied Sciences, Berlin. The course, which was first offered in 2003, begins in April each year at the start of the summer semester. It consists of two semesters with lectures and seminars of around 20 hours per week and a third semester dedicated principally to researching and writing a master’s thesis.
The programme is designed for students from developing countries as well as for students from the EU and other developed countries who have a special interest in the economic challenges facing developing and transition countries.
