The curriculum of the MDE was developed
with substantial input from the ISS. The curriculum is designed to ensure that
graduates achieve professional standards in economic policy analysis.This is done by developing the critical
analytical and technical capacities of students, who apply their understanding
of microeconomic, macroeconomic and international economic theories to policy
issues in development.
Courses in the MDE combine lectures with
individual and team work designed to develop the abilities of students to
practically apply economic theory to the Vietnamese context. Particular emphasis is placed on
strengthening students' ability to formulate and defend arguments. Substantial
subjects in Quantitative Research Methods and Thesis Design in Research Methodology II help
students to develop interesting, viable and clearly argued thesis research
proposals.
