  • Teaching syllabus

  • Admission - Second year

    Who can apply?

    A high level of training in quantitative and applied economics is required.

    The M1 degree in Economics from the AMSE department of Aix-Marseille University's Faculty of Economics and Management is the ideal entry point for this course. However, parallel entry into M2 may be possible for students who have completed 60 M1 Economics credits in a course with a strong quantitative emphasis.

    How to apply?

    Apply at the time of admissions on the dedicated platform.

  • Practical information

    This Master's program is part of the AMSE Ecole Universitaire de Recherche (EUR), which brings together nearly one hundred researchers from AMU, CNRS, EHESS and ECM. Teachers are selected on the basis of their expertise within these entities. The teaching team is complemented by industry professionals.

    At the end of the year, students complete an internship and write a Master's internship report. The aim of the internship is to demonstrate the student's ability to apply the conceptual tools he or she has acquired to issues arising in the professional world. The student must therefore identify the question, apply the tools, and know how to communicate the results to both a professional and academic audience. Supervision is provided by an academic and an internship supervisor (a member of the company). The report is defended before a jury comprising at least the academic supervisor and the internship supervisor.

    Each course is assessed by a written exam and/or the production of a report presented at an oral defense.

    As the course is designed to provide students with a high quality of analysis and presentation of results, both written and oral, skills are also assessed through active student participation during class sessions (reverse pedagogy, for example).

    To limit the number of personal projects to be carried out by students, teachers propose cross-disciplinary projects whenever possible.

    This course is available in :

    • Initial training
    • Continuing education
    • Work-study training: apprenticeships with CFA Epure Méditerranée are possible.
