If you choose to study Econometrics and Operations Research, you’ll first get a broad and solid foundation in mathematics and programming. Afterwards, in-depth study of Econometrics and Operations Research follows. Both are highly important fields within in economics and business, as they use quantitative techniques and methods to solve real-world problems and make decisions. For instance, predict the long-term and short-term effects of economic shocks on inflation, employment, and production. Alternatively, you may focus on how variability affects the generation of renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy, or electricity prices in the energy market.
You’ll get lectures on theory, work on group assignments, do case studies, and get first-hand experience with various companies. You’ll be learning from people in the forefront of their field. Most of your teachers are actively involved in research. Others also work in business when they’re not at the university. This ensures the programme to be both relevant, and up to date. In fact, the Econometrics and Operations Research has been rated as a “topopleiding” (high-quality education) by the Keuzegids Universiteiten four years in a row. Kraket, our active study association, adds a fun social side to your programme, organises careers events, invites representatives from large companies such as KLM, and even plans trips to companies abroad!
