Master in Economic And Financial Data Analysis With Python

Tuition fees are 3,795 USD per year.

The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam School of Business and Economics offers this intensive training designed to elevate your ability to solve complex data challenges within the economic and financial sectors. This programme is specifically tailored for professionals who possess a strong interest in economics and finance but have little to no prior experience with programming. By bridging the gap between traditional financial analysis and modern computational techniques, participants gain the skills necessary to harness the power of Python for real-world applications.

Practical Skill Acquisition

The curriculum is highly interactive and practice-oriented. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical constructs, the programme immerses participants in hands-on coding challenges over two consecutive days. Students learn to utilize industry-standard tools such as Jupyter Notebooks, alongside essential Python packages including Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib. This approach ensures that learners walk away with a functional toolkit for statistical application and data science, directly applicable to their professional environments. Participants are expected to bring their own laptops to facilitate this immersive learning experience.
