Does the expansion of the EU create opportunities for our businesses? Are there too many or too few doctors in Belgium? The expenditures for healthcare in Belgium have risen over the past few years. Why is this, and can this last? Could a road tax on our motorways stop traffic jams? Does it make sense for the European Commission demands of France and Germany that they bring their budget deficit down under 3% of their Gross domestic product, even though these countries are dealing with high unemployment rates and slow economic growth? And why how come the price of electricity keeps rising, although the market is now open? This course will teach you how to analyse an applied economic policy, and to help formulate decisions. The policy areas in question include employment, budget policy, monetary policy, mobility, healthcare, education, environment, competitive policy, etc. The general economy and the different domains of economic policy take central place. When using theoretical analysis or a more empirical approach, quantative methods are indispensable in modern economic science. These methods have an important part in your programme, and are focused specifically on economic applications. Other important elements in your course include accounting, financial reporting and analysis, trade and fiscal law, and management. A university programme also includes a broad, general background. This background is offered in courses such as economic and political history, philosophy, introduction to law, psychology, sociology, and religious questions.

Experience has taught us that our graduates find jobs in all sectors of economy, in all kinds of positions. This programme is especially good for jobs where different facets of economic policy are analysed and where significant strategic decisions are formulated. Such positions are found in the private sector with consultancy firms, banks, insurance companies, multinationals, SME’s. The government too, offers jobs in local government, federal government services and international institutions. Public and semi-public organisations (trade associations, unions, etc.) also offer opportunities. Some graduates find work in scientific research and others in the field of education.
