International Bachelor Econometrics and Operations Research

Why study Econometrics?

Modified on Thu, 3 Oct at 1:30 PM

Do you have a keen interest in the origins and evolution of economic issues? Are you looking to apply mathematical and statistical techniques to help answer real-life economic questions? Would you like to be able to develop and use your own models to define and explain reality systematically? Are you self-motivated and eager to study with international students?


If so, the International Bachelor Econometrics and Operations Research, with mathematics, statistics and economics at its core, is the programme for you. It enables you to take on complex issues like:

  • How will interest rates and stock prices evolve over the coming years?
  • How can waiting times in health care be reduced?
  • How can we enhance the effectiveness of online advertising by using Big Data?
  • How can public transport planning be improved?

You can find further information about the Econometrics programme on this page.


During your studies we offer various programmes and opportunities to guide you through the programme and to further engage you. For example, in your first year you will have guidance classes to make the transition to the university as smooth as possible. If you however want to be challenged further, we offer a bachelor honours class in which the best performing and committed students can take part. On top of all there are various study associations that organize both social and educational events throughout the year.


You can find more information on what we offer during your studies on this page.
