Follow-up Master's degree in full-time form. The language of instruction is Czech.
The programme can be studied only as a single subject.
The Mathematical and Statistical Methods in Economics study programme offers students a superior knowledge of the advanced quantitative tools and techniques used in economics and a very good knowledge of current trends of macroeconomic and microeconomic modelling. Students are gradually introduced to the fields of classical econometrics, Bayesian econometrics, and macroeconomic modelling, including practical applications. Attention is also paid to the development of skills in data mining and other advanced applied statistics techniques.
“The Force Awakens… through the data”
The main objective of this study programme is thus to cultivate the analytical skills that can be used to solve complex analytical tasks based on a non-trivial statistical analysis of the underlying data, to solve the tasks of formulating and estimating economic models using alternative software tools, and to solve the tasks involving the search for optimal variants in complex decision situations, based on a detailed quantitative analysis of the problem.
The versatility of mathematical and statistical methods opens the door for graduates into the world of financial economics or business economics. Students may profile their specialization within the selection of thesis topic and supervisor. Graduates are well prepared for the labour market, or for the further study of contemporary economic theory based on advanced quantitative methods.
Practical training is not an obligatory part of the study plan.
Graduates have a wide choice of occupations. They should be eligible for analytical and scientific research positions in central and commercial banks and government agencies involved in the preparation and implementation of instruments of economic policy (e.g. the Ministry of Finance or the Czech National Bank). Excellent knowledge of empirical work with data and economic modelling are a good prerequisite for the graduates applying for positions in statistical offices and agencies, in financial companies, or in the analytical departments of public institutions and private companies. A very good knowledge of economics and mathematical methods allows graduates to continue in a doctoral study programme and to enhance their qualifications for subsequent employment in private national and multinational companies and national or international economic and political institutions.
Graduates have found jobs in the following workplaces:
