About Enterpreneurship in Economic Policymaking, MA - at University of Tartu

You will gain diverse knowledge of economic development, management, politics and international trends and strong analytical skills to shape local, national and global policies. You can focus on addressing the effects of economic policies by integrating this knowledge into related areas (e.g. cyber security, etc.). 

A special feature of the curriculum is teaching the economic view on the one hand and entrepreneurship (start-up thinking) on the other. 

In addition to field-specific knowledge, emphasis is also placed on cross-disciplinary knowledge, such as distinguishing between the important and the non-essential or strategic and conceptual thinking, good negotiation and conflict management skills, innovation, etc.

In addition, there is cooperation with various university departments, agencies and organisations (Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies, Estonian Centre for Applied Research CentAR, Ministry of Finance, Estonian Business and Innovation Agency, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, Ministry of Education and Research, Ministry of Rural Affairs, etc.).
