The programme is a two year research master in economics, econometrics and finance. Fully dedicated to preparing students for PhD thesis research.
The Tinbergen Institute research master is a joint degree programme offered by Erasmus University Rotterdam, the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The research master is a small-scale, intensive programme for students who want to pursue a PhD in Economics, Econometrics or Finance.
