In 2024, we have been ranked among the top 26 small universities (< 5000 students) worldwide by Times Higher Education and among the top 3 Universities to do a master's by Inomics. We are dedicated to offering our students the best possible learning experience, with proximity between teaching staff and students being a priority. Neuchâtel enjoys a central location in Switzerland and a magnificent environment, near the lake and mountains. Zurich and Geneva can be reached in less than 1.5 hours by direct train connections. Courses and instructors The cohort size is below 20 students, which favors a profound learning experience and gives participants privileged contact with instructors. All courses are in English. They are taught by academic professors and practitioners, including PhD economists with a policy background at the World Trade Organization, the Swiss National Bank, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Federal Department of Finance (FDF), and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). Structure of the program The full-time study program includes three semesters of courses (72 ECTS) and a master's thesis written during the third semster (18 ECTS), either on an academic topic (e.g. for students who wish to pursue a PhD) or as part of an internship. The program can be extended to six semesters to accommodate professional activities and family life. In addition, there is an option to set up a personalized study program for candidates planning to spend less than four days a week studying. Specializations Data Science Sustainability To obtain a specialization, students must complete a specific set of courses and a master's thesis on a topic in the field. However, students do not have to commit to a specialization before the end of the study program. The relevant courses are listed in the study plan. Fees Application fee: CHF 100. Tuition fee: CHF 515 per semester for Swiss residents and CHF 790 for non-Swiss residents. Job prospects We strive to place our students in excellent jobs. The quantitative skills acquired during the program are highly relevant on the job market. Our students enjoy many opportunities for internships and jobs. Past students were employed in the financial and real estate sectors, public administration, consulting companies, higher education, and non-governmental and international organizations. Moreover, many students started PhD studies at, for example, the University of Maryland, the Jonkoping International Business School, the University of Bern, and the University of Lausanne. A 2024 survey among our graduates shows that 91% found a job less than three months after graduation. Data from a 2016 Swiss Federal Statistical Office survey reveals that 12 months after graduation, they have an average salary of CHF 75k annually.
