Admission
Prerequisite
Prerequisites training
Candidates with various backgrounds are encouraged to apply. This includes Master 1 in Economics (from CY or another university), Master 1 from Institut d'Etudes Politiques Sciences Po (e.g. IEP St-Germain-en-Laye), engineering or business schools degrees. A degree in economics is not mandatory, but the candidate should definitely have some background in mathematics and econometrics (or data analysis), since the courses rely heavily on mathematical modelling of economics and applied econometrics.
Admission decisions are based on thorough analysis of application materials, with a prerequisite of good English proficiency (certified by TOEFL, TOEIC, or IELTS at a minimum CEF level of B2). Exceptions apply to those with international training in English-certified courses, though a letter from the administrative office of their universities mentioning that the language of instructions of their courses was English is required. Candidates who have studied in an English-speaking country do not need any document of the sort.
Foreign students should hold a degree equivalent to the French M1, with an emphasis on mathematics background, though an economics degree is not mandatory. For those outside the European Union, it is necessary to follow additional instructions on Inscription des étudiants étrangers. Note that the deadline for Campus France countries typically falls in late February or early March.

Job opening
Business sector or job
The Master 2 in Economic Analysis offers a number of alternative careers. Among the several options, there are the large international institutions (European Commission, European Central Bank, OECD, IMF, World Bank, WTO, ILO, BIS, Regional Development Banks, etc.), which recruit students at Research Master level. French and foreign governments are also an outlet. Finally, the private sector, in particular the financial sector, is another option, since Economists are capable of guiding major strategic choices.
Finally, the students most interested in academic research may continue into the PhD program to be able to pursue a career in universities, research institutions (CNRS, INRA, OFCE, etc..) or in Business Schools in France or abroad. The Master prepare students to follow a doctoral program in economics, in the fields of industrial organization, international economics, public economics, environmental economics, labor economics, development economics, macro and microeconomics. Students pursuing a PhD will be part of THEMA. They may also apply to the "Ph.D. in Economics", which is a program in partnership between ESSEC and CY Cergy Paris Université. The Master 2 corresponds to the first of the 2 years of courses within the PhD program. After that, the student’s time is devoted to the thesis research.

Submission
Tuition
The university fees are annual and set by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research in France.
In 2019 the French government has voted a law that stipulates an increase in the registration fees up to € 3,770 for the Master’s degree for international students coming from outside the European Union and who were not registered previously in France at the master level.. However, we have been able to exempt international students enrolling into the M2 EA from paying the full fees in 2023-2024. They paid the same amount as the EU students: 243 euros per year (plus a 90 euros contribution to the CVEC). Admitted international students will be informed about the documents to provide in order to apply for an exemption from the full fees in 2024-2025.
Conditions of submission
For candidates residing outside the EU, please ensure to submit your comprehensive application package to us concurrently with your application through Campus France!
