Academic Year 2023-2024
Why follow the Economic Studies study track?
Economics is an important component of transatlantic affairs, be it in matters of international trade, international monetary relations, the effects of monetary and fiscal policies, or competition (antitrust) and regulatory issues. The “Economic Studies” study track offered in Bruges will provide students with a deep understanding of European Union policies and a critical economic analysis of their content. These will be completed with courses on international economic relations at The Fletcher School.
