Global Business and Applied Econometrics

Master's degree/Master's degree

There are all kinds of forces and factors that influence the global business landscape. To better know how to prepare for and navigate through some of these phenomena, business has drawn on the power of empirical data modelling to second-guess the future. This takes the expertise of professionals with an advanced understanding of econometrics – and the ways quantitative data can lead to innovative solutions.

Throughout this two-year double masters’ degree, you’ll gain an advanced understanding of the analytical and technical skills needed to apply econometric thinking to a number of global business challenges. As you build this skillset, you’ll also develop a deeper understanding of the contemporary challenges global businesses face today opening all kinds of opportunities for a more impactful career.

Complementing your expertise in quantitative modelling, forecasting and data will be the global insight that’s so essential for a rewarding international career. So by the time you complete both degrees, you’ll have deepened your understanding of the economic, social and political factors affecting businesses around the globe – and be more capable of using your quantitative, analytical skills to uncover opportunities for change and progress.
