Career Prospects
After graduating from the MScE, you can opt for working either in the public sector (government or international institutions) or in the private sector (financial institutions, international corporations in Switzerland and all over the world).
A list of previous employers of MScE graduates can be seen here.
Moreover, the program being strongly research-oriented, it is designed to serve as a stepping stone to doctoral studies in Lausanne, elsewhere in Europe or in North America. A PhD degree in economics typically leads to a career in public-sector or private-sector economic research, in economic policy consultancy or in academia.
For those wishing to pursue doctoral studies in Lausanne, we offer a fast-track option that allows promising students to start their PhD studies in the fourth semester by attending the Swiss Program for Beginning Doctoral Students in Economics at the Study Center Gerzensee.
