Barcelona School of Economics

Modern crises and emerging challenges have called established economic models into question. In 2006, as thought leaders in countries all over the globe were re-examining our understanding of economic science, a group of highly renowned professors and economists envisioned the need for a graduate school that could produce research and trained professionals.

The objective of our Master’s programs is to prepare you for careers in Economics, Finance, or Data Science that require intense analytical thinking, strong quantitative skills, and the ability to work with colleagues from diverse academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds.

Recognized and respected by prestigious universities, companies, and organizations across the globe, a BSE Master’s Degree on your CV signals that you have what it takes to make valuable contributions in today’s knowledge-based economy.

The joint efforts of our academic units have positioned the Barcelona School of Economics among the world's top research groups. Evidence of our research community's strength includes competitive research rankings (Top 10 Economics Department in the World, RePEc), four consecutive Severo Ochoa Excellence Accreditations (2012-2015; 2016-2019; 2020-24;2025-28), and the consolidation of the Barcelona School of Economics Summer Forum as the premier annual conference in Europe for top researchers.
