This M2 gives them access to high-level specialist knowledge and research activity. BENEFITS This program provides a training in economics research at Masters and PhD level. It is one of the best PhD programs in Europe, and is recognized for: Its international character: a growing number of students come from the best universities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas; The quality and diversity of its teaching: more than 60 academics are involved in the program, many of them with strong international experience; the excellent employment opportunities for Masters and PhD students. The APE program places special emphasis on supporting and assisting its students throughout their time at the School. Initiation into research and exposure to the social sciences are at the heart of the program’s learning objectives.
