With the emergence of data science and its successful application in many fields, there is growing interest in both the public and private sectors to explore what new insights these methods can offer on issues in economics, econometrics and finance.

This programme offers a comprehensive training in the use of data science methods to analyse economic issues, covering theories, methods and applications to real world problems. The programme is designed to prepare students for employment as economic data analysts in government, central banks or the private sector.
