Program details

Overview

Offered with two specialisations, the programme builds internationally oriented expertise in developing mathematical and statistical models that support planning, management, forecasting, and evaluation for businesses and public institutions. The Econometrics track devotes 45 percent of its credits to compulsory courses in econometrics, economics, and statistics, with a further 22 percent in optional courses from the same fields, while the Data Science track allocates 39 percent to compulsory informatics and statistics courses and 28 percent to related optional subjects; both tracks reserve the remaining third of credits for preparing and defending a master's thesis. Graduates are prepared to work in research centres, government economic-planning institutions, consulting firms, and the fiscal sector, including pension funds, stock exchanges, insurance companies, commercial banks, and technology start-ups, as well as in the analysis and planning functions of business enterprises. The degree also opens the way to doctoral study in economics, econometrics, data analytics, or statistics.
