About this programme

Within the last ten years, the demand for graduates in Economics with quantitative skills has increased strongly. This requires a solid education in formal economic theory as well as a comprehensive education in statistics and econometrics. Taking into account the growing availability of datasets and the decisions based on these both in public authorities and companies, it is of high value to have an in-depth understanding of econometric concepts. This need is fulfilled with this study programme. The methodologically thorough education allows graduates to carry out an occupation in research institutions, international organisations, public authorities, companies and economic consulting. This quantitative and application-orientated course of economics at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf is the ideal basis for a course of study in terms of both content and creating practice-oriented contacts and other connections to the vocational world. This programme is completely taught in English. In contrast to many other Master's programmes in Economics, it contains a compulsory area that raises both the theoretical and methodical training of students to a significantly higher level. Innovative teaching concepts as part of the "Reading Courses" and the "Economics Seminars" underscore the modern character of the course. The programme is aimed primarily at students who intend to later work in research and research-related institutions.
