MA/MS in Econometrics and Operations Research: Econometrics and Data Science

Econometrics and Data Science covers the fast-developing methods used to work with ultra-high-dimensional data sets, spanning the statistical underpinnings of high-dimensional spaces, together with the computer-science skills needed to handle big data, and the econometric methodology for pinpointing causal economic relationships within an environment rich in data. The one-year specialisation also teaches the practical skills needed to analyse, model and project important financial and economic variables to improve policy and decision-making, combining statistics, econometrics, computer science, economics and business. Its focus is on transforming large, complex data sets into information of value to corporate bodies, economic and government institutions, and firms providing financial services.
