DOES THE BGSE PROGRAM MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS?
"Yes, the BGSE program offers a rigorous first-year sequence in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, followed by the opportunity to specialize in my field of interest through topic courses at the research frontier."
WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE BONN FOR YOUR STUDIES?
"In the summer of 2024, I graduated with a degree in Economics from the University of Bonn. Because of its strong research and teaching in economic theory, as well as its rigorous quantitative approach, I chose the Bonn Graduate School of Economics (BGSE) to pursue my Ph.D."
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE IN BONN UP TO NOW?
"My experience in Bonn has always been positive, and the university provides excellent international collaborations, such as with the University of California, Berkeley, where I am spending my first Ph.D. year. I am therefore looking forward to returning to my alma mater soon!"
