International Economics

In the fourth and fifth semesters of the IBE program, students are offered a range of modules, so-called "compulsory elective modules", from which they must choose a select number of courses (modules). Each semester, the Faculty of Economics and Management publishes the Module Handbook, where students are able to see their choices for that respective semester. The offerings can also be found on the LSF platform.

International Economics Compulsorys currently include the following modules. These modules may be subject to change. Further offers are expected in the coming semester.
