First Graduates of the Master of Science Economics Program

The Institute for Advanced Studies and the Vienna University of Technology proudly announce the graduation of their MSc Economics 2008 - 2010 students!

The MSc Economics is a two-year program that requires the full-time concentration of the students.

"I graduated as one of the first students from the new MSc Program in Economics offered by the IHS and the TU since 2008. Although tough the program was more than rewarding in terms of personal experience and advances of my academic skills. It provided an optimal preparation for a Ph.D. study as well as for selective jobs in the broad industry of Economics and Finance."

Richard Franz, MSc, Graduate MSc Economics 2008 - 2010


The graduation ceremony took place on July 6, 2010 at the IHS. The Master's Degrees were conferred by BM Dr. Beatrix Karl, Ministry of Science and Research.
