Why this programme
This programme brings together the areas of econometrics and operations research. Econometrics provides support to economic decisions using quantitative data and techniques from mathematics, statistics and computer science. And Operations Research uses advanced mathematical tools to solve complex problems and optimise processes, such as transport logistics, routing and scheduling.
Organisations today face global competition, economic crises and complex decision-making processes. Therefore, calls are growing ever louder for economists who have the advanced technical training and quantitative skills to solve real problems. This programme gives you a unique profile to respond to these needs in government, finance, consulting and more.
What you will actually do during your MSc in Econometrics and Operation Research:
- Gain in-depth knowledge in the areas of econometrics, operations research or specialisation you design yourself
- Use multidisciplinary techniques to analyse complex problems (e.g. the construction of a new national road system, the allocation of donor organs to patients, etc.)
- Work in small tutorial groups, developing close working relationships with your fellow students and instructors
