Deepen your understanding of how economic forces shape global food and agriculture systems. This online M.Sc (18 months, 90 ECTS) from JLI Switzerland explores agri-market dynamics, trade policy, agricultural finance, and development economics. Graduates work as senior agricultural economists, policy advisors, and research analysts with governments, UN agencies, and development banks.
Building on a solid economics foundation, the programme covers international economics, econometrics, economic growth theory, monetary economics, and contemporary challenges in food systems and rural economies. Students develop the analytical rigour to assess the impacts of trade agreements, subsidy regimes, climate change, and technology adoption on agricultural productivity and food security. The research dissertation component enables graduates to contribute original analysis to their field — a valuable asset for roles in research institutions and policy bodies. The fully self-paced online format is ideal for agronomy professionals, development workers, and economists looking to specialise without interrupting their careers.
