Economics and Finance
Welcome to the Academic Research and Teaching Group
The IHS Economics Program
The Institute has an outstanding record of success, with many of the graduates of the Program in Economics attaining professorships at leading universities throughout the world. Indeed, approximately 100 professors of economics have passed through the Institute's Program since it was instituted. The Program's challenging content is enhanced by the low ratio of students to in-house faculty, and is defined by its outstanding visiting faculty, who teach the entire set of field courses.

Since fall 2008, the Department of Economics and Finance in cooperation with the University of Technology Vienna offers a Master of Science in Economics. The M.Sc. in Economics starts at the beginning of September each year. Applications are accepted until April 1.
