Department of Economics

The Department of Economics of the European University at St. Petersburg provides excellent and still rather rare in Russia an opportunity for becoming an economist in an international understanding of the profession. I was able to first ascertain that by participating in grant competitions run by the Russian Economic Research Program, where grant proposals are evaluated by a jury of international experts, and then by continuing my studies in the graduate school at the University of Chicago. EUSP provides an opportunity for quickly getting involved in research work under the guidance of leading Russian economists, so that by the end of the studies one becomes a professional himself. The name «European» corresponds to the liberal traditions of the University, while the study process at EUSP brings one a sheer pleasure.
