Advanced Master in International and Development Economics
From September 2007, the Economics School of Louvain (ESL) whose members are the Departments of Economics of the Universities of Namur (FUNDP) and Louvain (UCL) organizes the "Advanced Master (Master Complémentaire) in International and Development Economics". The "Master Complémentaire" is the new legal designation of all post-graduate professional master degrees in the French-speaking Community of Belgium. This programme replaces the Post-Graduate Programme (D.E.S.) in International and Development Economics which started in 1996.

- it analyzes the ways of reducing poverty and inequality.

The courses and seminars are given mainly in the Faculty of Namur. Once a week, classes take place at the University of Louvain-La-Neuve.
The programme is fully taught in English during the academic year 2007-2008. It will be offered in French in 2008-2009.
