Overview

Students can choose between two different tracks of the Master’s degree programme: The regular programme QE and the international track of QE. Both offer the same contents but the international track includes usually student exchanges at partner universities, because one of the two examiners of the Master's thesis needs to be a member of the partner university.

The Master’s degree programme in Quantitative Economics from Bielefeld University teaches students quantitative mathematical methods in economics and prepares them to carry out their own independent work at the cutting edge of research. In their first year, students attend obligatory courses delivering the main scientific and technological skills to carry out their own research. The University offers courses in economics that focus on different methods. Students will need to carry out research in their own specific field.
