Programme profile


In Econometrics, you will learn how to make the economy function more efficiently. You're not one to take economic laws on faith. You learn to think critically and innovatively. Are lower wages good for the economy? You're the econometrist – prove it! To do this you build a model and apply it to real economic data. As a result, econometrics is actually very applied in nature You capture econometric realities in mathematical models. Do you want to learn how this analysis translates into economic policy?

Programme content


The first year is all about your basic knowledge of mathematics, statistics, economics and finance. During the orientation courses, you will make acquaintance with the quantitative economics programmes of Econometrics, and Actuarial Science. You examine case studies and you will learn to work with advanced mathematical and statistical software such as Matlab, R and Eviews.

In the second year, you will choose between 3 specialisations:

- Econometrics
- Data Science
- or a "Free track".

Econometrics
In this track you learn how to build and use econometric models to analyse economic problems and make recommendations on economic policy.

Data Science
In this track your focus is on large data sets (big data)that businesses collect. Learn how to programme and fine-tune tools to analyse these data and to predict human behaviour

The first two academic years of the BSc Econometrics are in common with the Bachelor's programme in Actuarial Science. As a result, you can switch to this programme in the third year
