The Econometrics Undergraduate Program aims to provide students with the skills to analyze economic theories through mathematical and statistical methods. This program focuses on the collection, analysis and interpretation of economic data and provides students with the ability to construct and test economic models. The main objective of the program is to educate individuals who can evaluate economic theories and policies based on numerical data and who have developed analytical thinking and problem solving skills.
The study of econometrics is usually supplemented by courses in mathematics, statistics, economic theory and computer science. Students take mathematical and statistical topics such as differential equations, probability theory, statistical estimation methods, as well as economics courses such as microeconomics and macroeconomics. Also, courses that develop computer programming skills in data analysis and modeling are an important part of the program. These courses provide students with practical experience in analyzing real-world data and testing economic theories.
Econometrics graduates often take on analytical roles in the financial sector, economic research institutions, government agencies and the private sector. These roles may include positions such as data analyst, risk analyst, economic consultant, research assistant and policy analyst. Students' career prospects enable them to use their analytical and research skills in the world of economics and finance after graduation.
In the econometrics program, practical applications are important as well as theoretical knowledge. For this reason, the program often offers internships and opportunities to work on real-world data. Through these experiences, students develop skills relevant to the real needs of the business world and increase their chances of finding a job after graduation. The program provides students with in-depth knowledge and skills in analyzing economic data, developing economic models and evaluating the effects of economic policies.
