1 Greetings from the Dean

Dear new Master students, On behalf of the faculty and staff, I would like to welcome you at the Department of Eco-nomics. We are glad that you chose to continue your education in economics here at LMU Munich, and we are sure that you will find it to be an excellent decision in the course of the coming years. Our department is one of the leading and teaching institutions in Europe. Our research focuses on applied and policy-relevant topics in a wide range of economic fields, while being based firmly on rigorous meth-odological foundations. With this profile, the members of our faculty successfully publish in our discipline's best international journals. Our Master Program reflects the depart-ment’s strengths in research. It contains, on the one hand, a mandatory core program, designed to equip you with the basic tools and methods required for any advanced job in economics. On the other hand, our curriculum leaves you considerable freedom to de-velop your professional skills by choosing elective courses in your fields of interest. The flexibility and the diversity in our Master Program opens up a wealth of career opportu-nities, both in academia and in many other professional areas. Our graduate students are regularly recruited by large industrial firms, consultancies, banks, insurance companies and research institutes, as well as by national and international public institutions. And should you intend to obtain a doctoral degree and perhaps even to take up an academic career, then the Master Program is the entrance door to all of this as well.

Whatever your personal objectives, we put considerable effort into providing a pleasant and stimulating learning environment. This brochure is intended to familiarize you with the program and the teaching and organisational structure of the department. It will help you find out how the department’s resources and opportunities can assist you in reach-ing your goals.

I would like to encourage you to make full use of the resources of the Department of Economics. Whenever you have questions about your studies or about administrative is-sues, please do not hesitate to approach your administrative advisors or your professors. They are always happy to answer your questions, or else to direct you to those who can give you the advice you need.

With my very best wishes for successful two years of graduate studies at LMU Munich Joachim Winter Dean of the Department of Economics

2 Short Description of the Program

2.1 At glance

The Department of Economics at LMU Munich offers a 4-semester Master Program in Economics taught in English, leading to a Degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.).

Building upon thorough training in Economics at the Bachelor’s level, the Master Program provides students with analytical and logical problem-solving skills, deep-ens their knowledge of Economics and brings them to the frontiers of current re-search. Master students are trained for a demanding international professional ca-reer, and/or for an academic career in high-level economic research. From a widely structured course catalogue, students have the option to specialize in a particular field or choose the research-orientated courses that will prepare to continue with our Ph.D. Program, since the content of these courses overlaps to a large extent with that of the first year Ph.D. course.

In order to graduate students must have accumulated a total of 120 ECTS credits (European Credit Transfer System). The work load is 30 ECTS credits per semester; which corresponds to roughly 900 hours of study.

In the first semester, all students have to attend an array of compulsory courses, described in section 2.3.1 of this document that provides them with the necessary knowledge.

In the second and third semesters, students choose courses from a wide selection of modules and have can specialize and/or opt for research-oriented courses. Stu-dents write a Master Thesis in the fourth semester, demonstrating their ability to produce independent scientific work in a specific area of economics.

2.2 Structure

The curriculum of the study program is structured into modules. In the Master Pro-gram, a distinction is made between Compulsory Modules (CM) and Optional Mod-ules (OM). As a general rule students should obtain 30 ECTS credits per semester.

2.2.1 1st Semester: Basic Education

In the first semester, students attend basic lectures and tutorials in: Mathematics for Economists Econometrics Microeconomics Macroeconomics Public Economics

8

These compulsory modules (CM) provide students with the indispensable theoreti-cal background and necessary tools to further pursue specialize in their desired field of economics.

2.2.2 2nd and 3rd Semester: Specialization

In the second semester students can start specializing into their desired field. They can choose from a wide array of courses. In general there are very little restrictions on the choice. 30 ECTS credits should be obtained per semester with courses out of the OM.

In the 2nd semester it is recommended to choose one 12 ECTS course of the “Stud-ies in…” modules. In addition, students should take three 6 ECTS courses from the “Topics in…” modules in order to obtain the recommended 30 ECTS credits.

In the 3rd semester we recommend to choose one of the following combinations:

2 x 12 ECTS and 1 x 6 ECTS

1 x 12 ECTS and 3 x 6 ECTS

5 x 6 ECTS

Again the courses are organized in the Optional Modules as explained above.

Please note that at least in one of the 12 ECTS courses students should work on an independently formulated research problem and present the results in a term pa-per. It is recommended to take one course graded with 12 ECTS each in the 2nd and in the 3rd Semester, such the combination of 5 x 6 ECTS courses in the 3rd semester should be avoided.

We plan to offer a total of six different courses graded with 12 ECTS credits and a total of six different courses graded with 6 ECTS credits every semester.

2.2.3 12 ECTS Courses

Please note that places in all 12 ECTS courses are limited, especially those courses requiring an oral presentation and a written term paper. In order to participate in such a course you have to register well in advance.

The 12 ECTS courses are essential for the preparation of your master thesis and you should have taken at least one before beginning to work on it. Many master thesis advisors require that you have taken a 12 ECTS course with them.

You can sign up for 12 ECTS courses starting with your second semester. There are no further formal prerequisites to sign up for them. However, for a particular course the instructor may strongly recommend certain pre-knowledge. We recom-mend that you take one 12 ECTS course in the second and at most two of those courses in the third semester. Note that you cannot take more than three 12 ECTS courses.

A list of available 12 ECTS courses can be found on the master homepage:

9

http://www.en.master.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/courses/index.html

2.2.3.1 Registration

All 12 ECTS courses require registration. The timeline for registration can be found in section 6 of this document. Signing up for these courses is done via LSF https://lsf.verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de (“Register for courses”). When signing up you can set your priorities to the particular 12 ECTS course (highest priority = 1). It makes sense to sign up for several of those courses you have an interest in with de-scending priorities. If you only sign up for one of those courses you run the risk in case of excess demand of being assigned to a different 12 ECTS course at random.

Important: Within the deadline, the exact timing of the registration is not relevant for the assignment of places.

The course seats are assigned at random to all eligible students, taking into ac-count the specified priorities. Unfortunately, it cannot be guaranteed that all regis-tered students receive a place in their favored 12 ECTS course. The economics fac-ulty tries to provide all students with a place in their desired course and so far we have succeeded.

After the places have been allocated, registered students are informed via email about their assigned 12 ECTS course.

2.2.3.2 Clearing Process

If there are still vacant places in courses after the assignment process, or have be-come vacant due to someone’s resignation, those places will be assigned through the clearing process to students on the waiting list.

The clearing process allocates the remaining vacant places in 12 ECTS courses. Those who have missed the above registration deadline can apply to have a place assigned during this clearing process. To be put on the waiting list and participate in the clearing process, please send an email with your name, “Matrikel”-No and the preferred 12 ECTS course to [email protected].

The assignment is carried out with the same procedure as a random allocation pro-cess.

Important note: As the registration for 12 ECTS courses always happens well in advance. Please note that you have to sign up for these courses that take place in the following (not the current) semester on the LSF.

2.2.3.3 Binding Registration

Your registration for a 12 ECTS course becomes binding, once you have participated in the preliminary discussion and have been assigned a topic for your term paper. To re-sign after the binding registration is only possible for a very substantial reason. Resigna-tion has to be communicated to the particular chair in writing. If you signed up and fail

10

to attend without a substantial reason and the consent of the chair, you are given the grade 5.0 for that course.

2.2.4 Specialization

In the 2nd and 3rd semester, students freely choose courses from a wide selection of modules. Students have the possibility to specialize and/or opt for research-oriented courses. We offer the following fields of specialization:

Microeconomics and Strategic Interaction Applied Econometrics Public Sector Economics Macro and International Economics.

All of the Department of Economics offered courses for the specialization in the summer term 2014 can be found on the master homepage http://www.en.master.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/download/specialisation_ws20142.pdf In order to acquire a certificate of specialization, students must obtain at least 24 ECTS credits from courses within the specific field and write their Master thesis in the same field.

In addition to the certification for studies in a special field, students can acquire a certificate for obtaining 18 ECTS credits in research-orientated courses. Opting for research-oriented courses will especially be the choice for those students who plan to continue their studies in a PhD-program.

2.2.5 Master Thesis

The thesis will be written in the 4th semester. This should be an independently written, scientific work in a specific field of economics. The thesis has to be com-pleted over a period of 22 weeks. The Master Thesis is a Compulsory Module of its own.

In the Master Thesis students prove their ability to independently apply scientific methods of economics and to write an original piece of research.

Students should build up detailed knowledge in the planning, realization and evalu-ation of a special issue in economics. This concluding scientific work should be an independently written research thesis in any area of economics. A suitable supervi-sor for your thesis can be chosen from all professors of the department who are currently teaching over the period of writing your thesis. Please refer to the infor-mation on the planned sabbatical semesters of professors.

In preparation for the thesis, please note that at least in one of the 12 ECTS courses in the 2nd or 3rd semester students should work on an independently formulated research problem and present the results in a term paper, this term paper present-ing a decision-making support for prospective supervisors.

3 Student Exchange and Transfer of ECTS-credits The Department of Economics has several established exchange programs with several European and North-American Universities. Within the ERASMUS-program we cooperate with the

University of Warwick University of Oslo (Master) University of Copenhagen (Master) University of Bergen (Master) University of Stockholm (Master) Maastricht University (Master) Hanken School of Economics (Master) Université des Sciences Sociales de Toulouse (Master) Université de la Méditerranée (Aix-Marseille II) Université Libre de Bruxelles (Master) Université de Lausanne (Master) Universität Padua (Master) Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Universidad Pompeu Fabra Barcelona Universidad de Zaragoza Universität Bern (Master) Universität Zürich (Master) Universität Prag (Master)

For Master students we have special agreements with the University of California (Berkeley) and the University of Wisconsin (Madison). We recommend the 3rd (and possibly also the 4th) semester in the Master program for a study abroad. Please be aware that the participation in an exchange program may extend the duration of your studies.

More information (in German) can found here: http://www.vwl.uni-muenchen.de/studium/ausl_studium/index.html

Periods of study and ECTS credits from other Master Programs in Economics can be transferred to our program if the individual courses are equivalent to the cours-es we offer within our program. Please note the detailed information regarding the acceptance of ECTS credits from other universities on the ISC homepage.

14

4 Administrative Advice The OM exams of the 1st semester are scheduled and coordinated by the examina-tions office (ISC – Informations- und Servicecenter Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Prüfungen) and all other exams are scheduled and coordinated by the respective chairs.

Transcript of Records

After enrolment you have access to your personal course and exam administration account (LSF) with your LMU student e-mail. Your complete transcript with all course achievements as well as a transcript containing only the courses you have passed is available on LSF at

https://lsf.verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de/

Registration for the exams

The schedule of OM exams will be published online by the respective chairs. For information about the registration and deregistration procedure and deadlines please see the ISC homepage (Klausuranmeldung). http://www.isc.uni-muenchen.de/pruef_org/index.html

Incapability while taking an exam (e.g. sickness) must be claimed immediately and credibly at the latest before the grades of the exam are published. In case of sick-ness we require a doctor’s note giving details on the extent of the sickness and ina-bility to take the exam. More specifically, the doctor has to fill in the following form http://www.isc.uni-muenchen.de/files/allgemein/form_krank_20120910.pdf There is no need to claim incapability when you cannot take a single exam and de-cide not to take part. However it is recommended to inform the ISC about inability to take exams for a longer period of time.

Grading Scale

The Master of Science in Economics is based on the European credit transfer sys-tem (ECTS). Students must acquire a total of 120 ECTS credits for graduation. For every passed exam students will receive a certain number of ECTS credits that cor-respond to the workload of the course. Courses usually are attributed 6 or 12 ECTS credits.

The exams are graded according to a grading scale that ranges from 1.0 to 5.0, where 1.0 is the best grade, 5.0 means „failed“ and 4.0 is the minimum grade re-

15

quired for passing, with intermediate steps between the even grades ending on .3 and .7. The grades 4.3 and 4.7 do not exist. Each passed exam enters the grade point average (GPA) with the corresponding number of ECTS credits, the GPA con-sists of all credits earned.

If at the end of your studies you have acquired more than the total required number of ECTS-credits, then only the better grades of that final semester count towards your GPA.

Additionally, after the Master’s examination the GPA of every student is ranked among all graduates. The ECTS-grades give an impression about the achievement of a single student in relation to the other graduates of the program.

The following ECTS-grades will appear in the transcript of records:

A for the best 10%

B for the following 25%

C for the following 30%

D for the following 25%

E for the following 10%

Post-exam review

Students have the opportunity to review their exams after correction and grading. Time and place of the post-exam review will be announced by the respective chair or by the responsible lecturer.

Repetition of exams

Generally it is possible to repeat failed exams provided that the same course is of-fered again within the regular period of study (and possible time extensions).

Master examination

The regular period of study consists of 4 semesters. Students have passed the Mas-ter examination if they have completed at the latest by the 6th semester:

all module exams or partial module exams of the Compulsory and Optional modules, AND

the required number of 120 ECTS credits

The Master’s examination counts as

failed for the first time if the regular period of study has been exceeded by more than one semester for reasons within a student's control

16

definitely failed if the regular period of study has been exceeded by more than two semesters for reasons within a student's control

definitely failed if there is no possibility to repeat a failed module exam or a partial module exam within the regular period of study.

Final documentation

The final documents contain only the passed exams. Failed exams will not be men-tioned in your final certificate. After graduation you will receive the following doc-uments:

1. Master-Certificate (DE & EN)

The Master Certificate certifies the award of the academic degree.

2. Master-Record (DE & EN)

The Master-Record includes title and grade of the Master Thesis as well as the GPA.

3. Transcript of Records (DE)

The Transcript of Records provides a listing of all completed modules and their at-tributed module exams with number of ECTS-credits and grades.

4. Diploma Supplement (EN)

The Diploma Supplement gives information about the type and level of the Master’s degree, the status of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich as well as detailed information about the Master Program.

5. Specialization Certificate (EN)

Finally, there is the optional certificate on a specialization during the studies for the Master’s degree. The available specializations and the necessary number of ECTS credits in each field are:

Research (18 ECTS)

Applied Econometrics (24 ECTS)

Microeconomics and Strategic Interaction (24 ECTS)

Macro and International Economics (24 ECTS)

Public Sector Economics (24 ECTS)

In general students can obtain only one specialization certificate for their studies. At most two certificates can be obtained, but only if one of the certificates is “Re-search.” The course catalogue states towards which field of specialization a course

17

can be counted. The certificate can be requested from the graduate office after ob-taining all necessary ECTS credits.
