The M.A. in Economics at Kobe University is a two‑year graduate‑level economics program offered through the Graduate School of Economics that aims to develop advanced analytical, theoretical, and research skills in economics. Students engage in rigorous coursework covering areas such as macroeconomics, microeconomics, econometrics, public and monetary policy, industrial and social economics, and international economics, as well as seminars and independent research leading toward a master’s thesis. The program prepares graduates for careers as economists, policy analysts, researchers, and specialists in government, international institutions, or the private sector, and also provides a solid foundation for LL.M. Ph.D. studies. In addition to the regular Japanese‑taught program, Kobe University offers an English‑taught Kobe University Interdisciplinary Master Program (KIMAP) in Economics, which blends economics with law and business administration, and is designed to prepare students for global careers and interdisciplinary problem‑solving.
