This is a fundamental aspect of the program, as it allows students to expose, analyze and discuss ways of applying the theoretical tools exposed in each of the disciplines to the reality of Economics, which accentuates the professional nature of the course.

AREAS
OF INTEREST
The IDP Curriculum is interdisciplinary. The Program has 4 Areas of Interest, which allow students from different backgrounds to delve into useful knowledge for their academic and professional career.
The student has complete freedom to move between the 4 areas, choosing the subjects that seem most interesting for their career and for their academic and personal life.
ECONOMY, INSTITUTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT
The objective of Area of Interest 1 is to analyze and understand the main determinants of economic development, as well as the role of the State in this process.
FINANCE AND BANKING
Area of interest 2 seeks to provide a solid background in economic theory, public and private finance and the financial system. To this end, the most recent theories and applications in the field of credit, currency and interest policies are presented, as well as the tools and instruments commonly used in financial administration and project evaluation.
REGULATION, COMPETITION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Area of Interest 3 is part of the debate regarding the State that regulates and promotes economic development in the context of a free market economy. The area seeks to provide students with a set of theoretical and practical knowledge that allows them to understand the logic behind state intervention through regulation, as well as reflect on its consequences on agents' behavior.
BUSINESS ECONOMICS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
This area of interest seeks to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between economics, business and risk management. This is an opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of economic principles applied to business, as well as professionals who wish to improve their risk management skills in a business context.
