Master in Economics and Data Analysis

Economics and Data Analysis pairs the theoretical foundations of economics with the statistical and computational skills needed to work with modern data sets. The discipline prepares students to apply quantitative methods to economic questions in areas such as markets, policy, and business performance. This master's degree is taught in English at Università degli Studi di Verona, in Verona, Italy, and has a duration of two years. Core subjects typically include microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and statistics, together with applied modules in data analysis that teach students to work with real data sets using appropriate software and programming tools. The curriculum in this area generally connects economic theory to empirical practice, showing students how models are tested against data and how statistical results inform economic interpretation and decision-making in both academic and applied settings. As data has become central to economic analysis across sectors, programs of this kind also introduce techniques for data visualization, forecasting, and modeling that extend beyond traditional econometrics into broader data science practice. Career paths for graduates include roles as economic analysts, data analysts, and researchers within banks, government bodies, consultancies, and technology companies that rely on quantitative economic expertise. Some graduates pursue further doctoral research in economics or statistics, while others move into applied roles in market research, business intelligence, or policy evaluation where data-driven economic reasoning is valued. Verona, in the Veneto region of northern Italy, hosts the program, which is delivered entirely in English, offering an internationally accessible route for students interested in combining economic theory with practical data analysis skills.
