Econometrics and Data Science
The pairing in the title is the part to examine closely. Econometrics supplies the statistical modeling and inference used to test economic relationships; the data science half adds programming, machine learning and work with large datasets. Applicants need to be comfortable with mathematics and with writing code, not only with economics — programming appears in the first year and continues through the degree.
That combination shapes where the degree leads. Graduates are directed toward data analyst, statistician and economic consultant roles in government, in finance and in private-sector organizations built around data-driven decision making, a wider field than an economics degree alone opens. Anyone who wants economics primarily as a social science, with less weight on estimation and computation, will find the balance here tilted firmly toward quantitative method. It is a three-year on-campus program delivered in English.
