Double bachelor BSc in Econometrics and Economics

The Double Bachelor BSc² in Econometrics and Economics equips you with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills that employers genuinely value. What sets this programme apart is how it bridges classroom learning with real-world application from day one.

 Experiential Learning: Building Skills That Matter

You won't just learn econometrics and economics in lectures—you'll apply these disciplines immediately through practical assignments and collaborative work. In your first year, you'll receive training in computer programming to build models and implement mathematical techniques, working in tutorial groups of about thirty students for individual attention, with many practical assignments completed in groups of around four students. This hands-on approach extends throughout the programme with specific tools and opportunities:

- EViews software: You'll use this industry-standard econometric software package in computer sessions during tutorials to apply econometric techniques to real economic data.
- Group-based learning: Collaborative projects are embedded throughout your studies, developing both technical and teamwork skills essential in professional settings.
- Business research groups: Starting in your second or third year, you can join business research groups where you'll help companies solve real problems directly related to your specialization.
- Academic research projects: Module D includes an Academic Skills Research Project in year 2, where you translate practical economic problems into mathematical and statistical models, solve them, and present findings both orally and in writing.
- Guest lectures: The extracurricular programme offers unique opportunities to attend lectures by industry leaders and experts in science, business, and economics.
- Bachelor Honours Class: If you're among the top performers, you can participate in this enhanced programme featuring intense, interactive guest lectures on current economic issues, where you'll write and present academic papers.

The combination of quantitative tools, real company engagement, and academic rigor means you graduate with a portfolio of practical experience—not just a diploma.
