Economics as a university subject has boomed in popularity since the financial crisis, but which European institutions are producing the best graduates?
QS recently released its worldwide university rankings, which it has broken down by both by region and subject.
The university ranking is based on the institution's reputation with academics and employers, and the number of research citations the school gets per paper published in a specific discipline — in this case, economics and econometrics.
20) Maastricht University is the Netherlands' fourth-best institute for an education in economics, according to QS. Sixty percent of business and economics students come from abroad and many courses are taught in English.
19) Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich comes second for Germany. This is where controversial German economist Hans-Werner Sinn teaches.
18) KU Leuven is Belgium's second-highest ranking university for economics. It's the oldest university in the country and many of the courses are offered in English.
