Master's degree in Economics and Data Analysis

The Master’s degree in Economics and Data Analysis, entirely taught in English, provides students with the main theoretical and empirical tools for economic and data analysis, necessary in an ever-changing and openly international economic environment. The program trains graduates to be able to critically interpret economic phenomena at local and international levels, and use the main modern empirical techniques for business and market analysis.
Students will be able to develop such skills upon completion of an interdisciplinary program which includes, in the first year, core modules on microeconomic theory and its applications, mathematical and computational tools, public economics and international economic regulation, as well as on advanced data analysis and management, and econometrics.

In the second year, the following subject areas will be covered: macroeconomic and financial analysis, risk and investment management, international business management practices, procedures and models useful in development economics, health and environmental economics, and project evaluation and financing. In addition to the analysis of economic problems, topics in advanced statistical and econometric analysis will be explored, focusing for instance on forecast analysis and economic applications of machine learning methodologies.

The program also includes modules taught by guest lecturers from international universities, as well as seminars and meetings with guest speakers and professionals of leading institutions and companies. In addition, the program supports students wishing to enhance their transferable skills in view of their future professional life by granting academic recognition of university credits to those who attend the relevant courses offered by the University or other institutions.

The program also benefits from the opportunity of a double degree program with the MSc in International Economic Policy at the University of Wurzburg. Students enrolled in the double degree program will take the first year at the University of Verona and the second year at the University of Wurzburg.
