The program is modeled on a similar structure as that of the Masters program at the LSE and other leading masters universities in the UK, all of which have 1-year programs. The program is intensive and avoids long breaks between semesters.

The Program is meant for graduates from any discipline who have strong quantitative skills and would like to learn economics and finance to solve real world problems. The Program is also useful for young professionals who would like to develop applied post graduate economics and finance skills to further their careers.
