Master Econometrie, Statistiques

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.

Aix-Marseille Universite, in Marseille, France, offers the Master Econometrie, Statistiques (Econometrics, Statistics), a program within the discipline of quantitative economics. This field applies statistical and mathematical methods to economic questions, using data to test theories, measure relationships between variables, and forecast economic trends. Typical subjects include probability and statistical inference, econometric modeling, time-series analysis, applied microeconomics and macroeconomics, and the use of statistical software to analyze economic and financial data. Students learn to build and test models that explain economic behavior, evaluate the impact of policies using data, and communicate quantitative findings to non-specialist audiences. The discipline combines rigorous mathematical training with practical data-analysis skills, preparing students to work with large datasets in economic, financial, or business settings. Graduates commonly pursue careers as data analysts, econometricians, statisticians, or economic researchers, working for banks, insurance companies, consultancies, government statistical agencies, or research institutes. Others move into roles focused on forecasting, risk modeling, or policy evaluation where quantitative rigor is central to the work. This is a master's-level program for students who already hold a degree in economics, mathematics, or a related quantitative field. It runs for two years and is positioned to begin in September, with annual tuition of 250 EUR. As instruction is delivered in French, applicants should be prepared to study mathematical and statistical material, and communicate about quantitative analysis, in French throughout the program.
