MAEs Program
MAEs is a 1-year, 60-credit official master’s degree. The academic year is divided into three terms. The first two terms are common to all students, while in the third term, students take one of the two tracks we offer. Teaching is 50% in Spanish and 50% in English. All the courses have 3 credits, except for the Master thesis that has 6 credits.
MAEs offers students the opportunity to extend their studies and obtain the MAEs International Distinction by completing a fourth trimester at one of the universities in our network: Università di Padova, Università di Napoli Federico II, or Università di Salerno.
In addition, starting in the 2026/2027 academic year, MAEs offers students the opportunity to pursue an International Double Master’s Degree with the Master’s programme in Economics, International Economics and Global Business at the Università di Salerno. The programme lasts two years and leads to two degrees. Financial support is available through the Erasmus+ KA131 programme for students undertaking both the Double Master’s Degree and the mobility period.
MAEs gives direct access to the PhD Programme in Economics at the UMA.
