Compare 14 Masters of Science in Econometrics

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.

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 program is targeted at students who wish to obtain theoretical and practical knowledge about the mathematics of random events. It is primarily characterized by a balance between rigorous mathematical theory, depth of insight into various fields of the subject (probability, statistics, econometrics) and applications in various areas. The students will obtain a general background by taking compulsory courses in probability, optimization, statistical modeling, and random processes.

They continue by taking elective courses to extend their expertise and choose a specialization they would like to study more deeply. In seminars, they learn to work independently as well as to collaborate on complex projects. Great emphasis is placed on the development of independent analytical thinking. Probability, statistics, and econometrics have a close relationship with other mathematical subjects (mathematical analysis, numerical mathematics, discrete mathematics). Applications are inspired by real problems from economics, medicine, technology, natural sciences, physics, and informatics.... [-]

The MSc EORAS program uses mathematical and statistical models to analyze problems in economics, finance, insurance, and related areas. In this program, we address questions such as: How will future employment ratios develop in Europe? How much influence will petrol prices have on car usage? What is the minimal route length to deliver large amounts of parcels? How to calculate a fair premium for a new insurance product? These questions have in common that they relate to a decision-making process and that answering them requires the use of mathematical modeling and data science. In the MSc EORAS program, you will learn how to construct appropriate models, to apply these models to real-life data by means of statistical software, and to design and implement computer algorithms. Importantly, you also learn how to give a proper economic interpretation of the outcomes of quantitative models.... [-]

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.... [-]

Are you curious how logistics companies solve the puzzle of routing vehicles, ships and trains in the most efficient way? Would you like to apply your mathematical skills to ensure that airlines achieve optimal planning when making staff rosters? Operations Research is a broadly applicable discipline in which advanced quantitative methods are used to help better decision making. Quantitative Logistics studies the application of quantitative techniques to design, plan and control logistics systems. This programme trains you in both fields, while addressing real-life problems.

In this master you will learn how to apply the latest quantitative techniques and optimise real-life business challenges. In particular, you will learn how to tackle actual logistics problems ‘from data to advice’. This involves making a mathematical model, selecting an appropriate solution approach and implementing it as prototype software.... [-]
