Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales

To obtain the Master's degree in Quantitative Economic Analysis, students must complete 60 ECTS credits distributed over three terms. They may take the Master's degree on a full-time basis (preferably) or part-time (between 24 and 36 ECTS credits per academic year).

The first term (Michaelmas term) consists of five mandatory courses that provide the fundamentals of advanced theoretical and quantitative economic analysis, as well as advanced computational techniques in Python.

The second term (Lent term) includes four compulsory and one optional subjects, covering topics directly related to economic theory, international finance, econometrics, big data analysis and complex networks.

During the third term (summer term), students will take the optional subjects of their selected itinerary. They can choose to do an internship in a first level company or public institution (professional track), or take two specialized optional subjects (research track). Finally, students will complete a master's thesis.

Seminars:

As a complementary training, the QuEA Master offers specialized seminars in topics in economics, finance, econometrics, big data and machine learning, given by professionals and academics specialized in these subject. These seminars are organized in parallel with the regular courses at no additional cost to the students.
