The basic track provides a thorough introduction to econometric methods and data science techniques with an emphasis on how to implement and carry out the methods in empirical studies and how to interpret the results. Apart from the fundamentals of econometrics, much emphasis is given to how econometrics is carried out in different practical settings and empirical studies.
The technical track provides current Bachelor Econometrics & OR students (or those from related studies) with options for advanced methodological courses, including Computational Methods, Bayesian Econometrics, an advanced Case Study and the possibility of an internship.
Basic track:
- Period 1
- Introductory Econometrics
- Introduction to Time Series
- Period 2
- Empirical Finance
- Empirical Economics
- Period 3
- Case Study: Real-life Modelling in Econometrics and Data Science (Advanced option)
You have the opportunity to take a 12 EC internship as part of this minor track. If you choose this option you have to arrange your internship in periods 2 and 3. In case you have questions about internships you can contact Career Services at the Faculty of Business and Economics. They can answer your questions and support you in the application process.
Technical track:
