Basically the different forms of study comprising the Stata software, containing abundant data required for the management of graphics data and conceptualizing mathematical analysis as the basis for the understanding of statistical theory.

Made of blocks of theoretical subjects, practical cases are dealt with one final issue which the acquired concepts are evaluated by solving tasks, continuously developing knowledge and management concepts of algebra own instruments and methodologies, all of which are necessary elements for the understanding and treatment of statistical issues. It is also intended to contribute to standardize the use of algebraic concepts in different university education professionals.... [-]

This course is ideal if you would like to pursue a career in which the application of econometric methods plays a major role – such as market research, evidence-based planning and policy advice, or financial modelling and forecasting – or if you would like to enter a PhD programme. It focuses on the application potential of a broad range of econometric techniques and the effective communication of empirical results, rather than the statistical theory upon which econometric methods depend.

Key features

Mission of the Faculty

The modern economy is fully supported by the computer science. The financial sector and rural economy are among many social and economical domains undergoing deep changes. The mission of the Faculty is to form engineers who understand the contemporary world and analyze it using computer methods and algorithms. An important role in this task plays the specialization of Information Systems in Management

Mission of the specialization (major)

The specialization, realized fully in English, focuses on the computer science tools used in the economical institutions, such as banks, stock markets etc. It is aimed at education of computer engineers and economical analysts. This specialty is focused on the use of high-level programming languages, design, and programming of the databases, the design, and administration of the computer networks and modern information systems....

Econometrics & Operations Research is a fascinating scientific discipline which develops quantitative resources and applies them to the analysis of economic problems in their broadest sense. VU University Amsterdam trains students by preparing them for a professional career in which mathematics, statistics, and ICT are applied for the quantitative analysis of many kinds of problems, either from the world of business, finance, economics or of a more general nature.

The Master’s Program in Econometrics and Operations Research offers two specializations: Econometrics and Mathematical Economics and Operations Research and Business Econometrics. However, it is not mandatory to specialize; it is possible to combine courses from either specialization to allow students to pursue their own interests. In that case, no specialization will be mentioned on the degree. The two areas of specialization are:... [-]

The programme aims to build students’ core competencies to work with economic issues at various spatial levels; international, inter-regional, and local. During the first year, students learn theoretical and quantitative analytical skills. In the second year, the programme aims to further deepen the students’ competencies in the area of spatial economics. Strengthening econometric competencies is at the core of first-year’s courses. The last term is devoted to writing a comprehensive thesis, which is conducted in close collaboration with faculty. This gives you the opportunity to establish links with the research faculty and also gain insight into the academic milieu and knowledge about how to conduct research. In addition, many researchers within the economics faculty specialize within the field of regional economics, creating an excellent match.... [-]

This course provides you with a solid foundation in contemporary econometric theory, and the expertise to apply that theory to the analysis of economic data.

It is designed to train you in the use of analytic and quantitative methods in examining economic issues, providing research training at the level needed to progress to a PhD.

Our research-led approach to teaching guarantees an exciting and challenging experience, providing the skills you need to progress as a professional economist or academic researcher.

The programme is influenced by the work of academics at the Granger Centre for Time Series Econometrics including Nobel Prize Winner and Nottingham alumnus, Sir Clive Granger. The centre was established in 2006 to develop and distribute research in both theoretical and applied time series econometric analysis, including panel data methods.... [-]

MSc Econometrics and Operations Research: Operations Research (full-time)

Business and economic problems can use several methods to solve them. In the Operations Research track, you will use optimisation techniques, such as algorithms, for this purpose. You will also use computer technologies and programming techniques to reach solutions.

What will you learn?

Operations Research is about using technology but, more importantly, it’s about applying that technology in business situations to solve real problems. The track will give you the means not only to use computer programming to your advantage but also to communicate your proposed solutions to the business decision makers effectively.... [-]

MSc Econometrics and Operations Research: Mathematical Economics (full-time)

Mathematical methods can be used to solve a whole range of business problems, from a company’s finances to the organisation of its people. In order to do this strategically, the Mathematical Economics track looks at theories and models that can help you make the right decisions.

What will you learn?

Mathematical Economics is certainly a theoretical track. But it’s also about solving real business problems, which means that you’ll learn about more than just the academic theories. You’ll also learn about business issues such as resources (both human and material), finance and organisational structure (both internal and external).... [-]

MSc Econometrics and Operations Research: Actuarial Sciences (full-time)

The role of actuaries is changing. Until recently, actuaries have concentrated on mitigating risk. Now, their role is broader and more proactive: they study market demand and manage return on investment, both in the short and long terms. To do this, they must take a balanced view of both assets and liabilities. The Actuarial Sciences track at Maastricht University is one of only three such studies in the Netherlands, putting it at the cutting edge of its field. Become a ‘financial engineer’: take Actuarial Sciences.
