The Advanced Master in International Economics and Development is an inter-university programme organized in the framework of the Economics School of Louvain (ESL) which groups together the Departments of Economics at UCL and the Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix (FUNDP) in Namur. The programme benefits from the support of the Standing Committee for University Co-operation towards Development (CUD).

Most of the courses are held in Namur. Courses are held at Louvain-la-Neuve one day of the week. (In the detailed programme, the Namur courses are prefixed FUNDP.)

The Advanced Master in International Economics and Development is a programme of 60 credits in one year, taught one year in French and the following year in English. It comprises a refresher course, courses and seminars on three areas of study, optional subjects and the production of a dissertation (individual project).
