Econometrics / Economics - BSc2 - Double degree

Erasmus School of Economics offers you a unique opportunity to acquire both profound economic insights and practical quantitative econometrical skills in only four years.
Econometricians examine the mathematical aspects of economic problems. Economists strive for a deep understanding of the nature of these problems. Are you interested in both? This programme provides you with a thorough understanding of how economics works and gives you access to the latest methods to analyse economic problems and calculate their solutions. This study allows you to focus on conceptual matters like inflation, profit and turnover as well as quantitative issues like risk, forecasts, uncertainty, probability and scenario analysis. During the BSc² programme you will address questions such as:* How will energy and commodities prices evolve?* How can we enhance the effectiveness of advertising by using Big Data?* How will changes in unemployment rates affect consumer spending?* What can be done to prevent a new 'Eurozone crisis'?
The BSc² programme enables you to complete two entire three-year bachelor programmes in four years. By taking extra lectures and exams you earn two BSc degrees in two thirds of the original time. You will acquire an average of 66 credits each year instead of the standard 60 credits. BSc² facilitates personal attention and intensive guidance.
