Economics serving society

Teaching

PSE’s commitment to teaching was one of the missions assigned to it when the RTRA was created.

The Master’s programme includes three degrees, a generalist Master’s in Analysis and Policy in Economics (APE), an applied Master’s in Public Policy and Development (PPD), and a combined Master’s in Economics and Psychology (EP). These degrees and the doctoral programme have been approved by the Board of Directors, a condition for their accreditation by PSE.

A Master of Science, specialising in the Sustainable Impact Analysis (SIA) offers training to engineering students and economists in the evaluation of investment projects in the fields of energy, computing/digitilisation, transport and urban planning, as well as in health and sport.

Inaugurated in June 2016, the PSE Summer School offers thematic programmes in week-long training courses in June-July, for Master’s and PhD students as well as researcher-teachers from other universities and professionals working in parastatals such as the OECD, the IMF, national Treasury departments, and central banks
