Research Master in Economics
Tinbergen Institute Research Master’s Program focuses on Economics, Econometrics and Finance.
Tinbergen Institute Research Master's Program in Economics is a two-year joint degree (120 EC) aiming to train future PhD students who will start their doctorate at one of the Schools in Business and Economics of the three partner universities: Erasmus University Rotterdam, the University of Amsterdam, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Curriculum
In the first year, students receive rigorous training in the core subjects and tools of economics, econometrics and finance. In the second year, students specialize in their choice of the institute’s many research areas through field coursework and research master's thesis research.
Students who perform well in the research master's program usually continue in a PhD program within one of our three university partners. As the research masters covers most of the required courses already, students in the PhD phase typically spend most or all of their time on research.
