Academic Courses for Executives
Separate courses, special tracks, or the complete MSc program
As an employee of one of the (non-academic) Netspar partners represented in the Partner Council, you are welcome to take part in one or more courses of the Master Economics and Finance of Aging. Beside separate courses, we offer three tracks, each consisting of three coherent courses. You may also choose to apply for the complete MSc program. In all cases, participation is free of cost.

Certificate or diploma
When you take a single course, or a specialized track, you will receive a certificate upon successful completion. If you complete the entire program, you will receive the title Master of Science in Economics and Finance of Aging. PhD students from partner universities that wish to participate in one or more courses, please contact Netspar's Director of Education.

Easy to combine with work
Attending courses of our Master is easy to combine with your job. Each individual course is scheduled on one day only. In this way, a single course will only cost you about four hours a day, once a week. To make things even easier, the course Introduction to Economics and Finance of Aging is videotaped so you can download it from our website.

Small groups, lots of interaction
Lectures are given to relatively small groups of students, creating opportunities for interaction between the lecturer, employees of Netspar partners and the master's students. You will be challenged to actively participate in the lectures, you will get assignments and will be asked to come up with suggestions to apply theory to practice and use your practical experience to clarify theory.

Detailed information about the courses and tracks of the MSc program can be found in the left menu on this page. The entire program is in English.
