The University of Valencia is the outcome of more than five centuries of history that have led to the accumulation of knowledge and unique documentary treasures, making it one of the top Spanish universities.

It has become one to the top five scientific centres in Spain thanks to the wide range of teaching and research activities offered in all areas of knowledge (basic sciences and engineering, health sciences, educational sciences, humanities and social sciences, economics and law) and its commitment to excellence.

The joint Master in Economics of the University of Valencia and University Jaume I offers high quality training, combining advanced academic-oriented economics teaching with a more specific focus on knowledge about markets organization, decision making of economic agents, and the international economy. The Master aims to provide students both with a broad and rigorous view of the discipline, and the analytical tools needed to carry out sound economic analysis. Successful course completion ensures students the endowment of the analytical and technical skills required for highly demanding jobs in international organizations (OECD, IMF, ILO, etc.), public policy institutions (Ministries, Central Banks, European Commission, etc.), private companies (including financial and consulting companies), research departments and universities. This Master is also highly recommended for candidates pursuing postgraduate education in our Ph.D. Programme in Industrial Economics or other prestigious doctoral programs in Spain and abroad.

Master’s students will interact with faculty members with an excellent reputation and with wide-ranging research and teaching experience. Most faculty members hold postgraduate degrees from universities of international prestige (London School of Economics, University of Warwick, University College London, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, College of Europe, Université Catholique de Louvain, and University of Dijon, among others).

In addition to enjoying an excellent academic atmosphere, Valencia offers the thrills of a big city, entertainment, the goodness of Mediterranean cuisine, and nice sandy beaches, as well as its attractive history and cultural richness.

The joint Master in Economics of the University of Valencia and University Jaume I has been recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Education within the framework of the Bologna process.
