Your Study Programme Outline

In the first two years of Econometrics and Operations Research, you'll take core courses that integrate maths, statistics, economics and computer science. You will learn practical techniques to solve economic problems, improve business practices, predict trends and so on. And you'll apply your knowledge in these areas to various other disciplines, such as marketing and finance. In your third year, you'll have the freedom to pursue your own interests: you'll choose your courses from an extended range of electives and spread your wings during an adventurous semester abroad.
