The Master’s in World Economy at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (SWUFE) in Chengdu, China is a full‑time graduate programme under the School of Economics designed to give students a solid grounding in the theories, policies and practical issues that shape the global economic system, with a special emphasis on international economic relations and the dynamics of world markets. It explores core areas of macroeconomics and microeconomics, international economics, global trade and investment, international finance, economic growth and development, and advanced econometric methods so that students can understand how different economic systems interact, how policies affect global economic outcomes, and how international institutions and agreements influence economic integration and cooperation. The curriculum often combines rigorous theoretical instruction with applied research, case studies and empirical analysis to build students’ analytical and problem‑solving skills in complex international economic contexts. Graduates are expected to be prepared for careers in international economic research, policy analysis, global business strategy, international organisations, governmental agencies and multinational corporations, or to continue advanced academic study in economics and related fields. The programme typically follows a 3‑year academic structure in line with China’s academic master’s degree system for this discipline, blending classroom learning with thesis research to develop both conceptual depth and practical competence in world economic analysis.
