The Master's programme in Econometrics and Operations Research is an academic programme that consists of two tracks: Econometrics and Operations Research. Directly from the start of the master you choose one of these tracks. Each track contains several specializations, as well as an “open specializations”, with a more broader focus on either econometrics or operations research.
The track Econometrics focuses on developments in theory, methodology and application of econometric and statistical methods for the analysis of financial, marketing and economic data, nowadays often Big Data. Econometrics connects to many academic disciplines including mathematics, statistics, computer science, economics, finance, and business studies, and is primarily concerned with the science and art of using statistics, data science and econometric methods for the analysis of economic/finance/marketing data. Specializations within the Econometrics trace are Econometric Theory, Econometrics and Data Science, Financial Econometrics, Marketing Data Science, and Quantitative Economics.
The track Operations Research focuses on the development and application of quantitative methods for analyzing economic issues. Operations Research connects to many academic disciplines including mathematics, computer science, finance and business studies, and is concerned with optimizing strategic and operational business processes that can be found in, for example, transport networks, stock management, and advanced decision support systems. Specializations within the Operations Research track are Financial Engineering, Operations Research Theory, and Supply Chain Management.
For talented and ambitious students, we offer the Master students the extra opportunity of a MSc Honours Programme in which you can broaden and deepen your knowledge on state-of-the-art methods.

Specialization Financial Econometrics
Description
The Financial Econometrics specialization is a hands-on study into
econometric methods used on a daily basis in the financial industry that
will let you become the quantitative financial specialist and that will
place you at the forefront of a successful professional career.
Financial Econometrics connects different academic disciplines including
mathematics, statistics, finance, and business studies, and is primarily
concerned with the use of financial economic theory and statistical
techniques to support financial decision and policy making through the
analysis of financial and economic data sets. The econometric methods
can be used to analyse financial risk, investment strategies, financial
economic policy, monetary policy, high-frequency trading, capital
markets, financial stability, and many other topics. A programme that
will enhance your analytical skills, will invest in your quantitative
insights, will learn you how to design and apply econometric methods in
a finance context, how to analyse financial data, how to use statistical
tools for financial questions of relevance, how to approach big data
problems, how to interpret quantitative results, how to present the
results of an econometric analysis, how to deduct conclusions and to
make financial decisions from a quantitative analysis. Each year we
attract around 75 students from which 50% are international students. We
offer a high-quality and challenging teaching program with excellent
teachers. The job perspectives of Financial Econometrics students are
excellent in all times.

Honours Programme Operations Research
Description
For talented and ambitious students the master’s programme offers an
extra opportunity to distinguish themselves with the MSc Honours
Programme Operations Research. This Honours Programme allows master’s
students to broaden and deepen their knowledge on state-of-the-art
operations research techniques.
The programme has a study load of 18 EC and consists of two master’s
courses from the program of the LNMB (6 EC per course) and the 'OR
research seminar' (6 EC) organized by the OR-group of the department of
Econometrics and Operations Research at VU University. The LNMB provides
a great variety of high-level courses on deterministic and stochastic
operations research. Students can choose LNMB master’s courses
according to their interest. The OR research seminar will run from
September to April. Form and contents of the OR research seminar will
depend on the students interests and ambitions. The aim of this seminar
is to train students to write a PhD grant proposal enabling them to
continue their studies as a PhD.
The honours programme is successfully completed if the student has
finished the master’s programme within one year and, in addition, has
successfully finished all courses of the honours programme. The
successful completion of the honours programme will be recorded in the
Diploma Supplement.
