Economics enables us to understand and influence our intricate global systems. It provides unique perspectives on how choices made by people, corporations, and policymakers impact critical areas of daily life, such as job availability, costs of goods and services, and general quality of life.
Our MSc in Economics (Econometrics and Big Data) allows you to expand upon your bachelor's education to master sophisticated skills in the field, focusing particularly on quantitative methods and their real-world implementation with large datasets. With organizations like central banks, enterprises, and financial institutions increasingly relying on massive, complex data to achieve objectives, identify patterns, and derive insights, there's growing demand for experts possessing both theoretical understanding and practical skills in applying machine learning and econometric analysis to data.
This program equips you for various professional paths requiring advanced quantitative abilities and expertise in handling big data through econometric approaches. Alumni of this course are also ideally positioned to pursue further academic research in economics or econometrics.
