Programme overview

The study programme in a nutshell

The double bachelor programme enables you to complete two entire three-year bachelor programmes in four years. By taking extra lectures and exams you earn two BSc degrees in two thirds of the original time. You will acquire an average of 66 credits each year instead of the standard 60 credits.

Year one: focus on econometrics

The Double bachelor BSc² in Econometrics and Economics programme covers both theoretical issues related to economics and business, and the application of mathematical and statistical techniques to help answer economic questions. This is unique. You benefit from the excellent perspective that this gives you, compressing the timeline by building knowledge in both subjects.

In your first year, you follow the complete first-year curriculum of the Bachelor Econometrics and Operations Research. Courses cover mathematics, statistics, economics, programming, operations research and optimisation techniques.

Your first experience with operational research will consist of analysing and solving optimisation problems by applying these mathematical methods. We work with tutorial groups of about thirty students, which allows for individual attention and intensive guidance. During many of the practical assignments, you will work in groups of around four students.

Years two, three and four: from a solid foundation to a double bachelor

The following three years all consist of both economic and econometric subjects. In the second year of the double bachelor programme, you will lay the groundwork with fundamental courses. Years three and four are about deepening your knowledge and further developing your skills. In the third year, you will choose your economics major. In the fourth year, you will focus on your econometrics major

In the final year, you have the opportunity to choose a minor (a combination of electives) at or outside Erasmus School of Economics. You can also choose a minor, exchange, or complete an internship. With the completion of a thesis you conclude the double bachelor programme.

Learning Trajectories

You will follow learning trajectories that provide a structured pathway for developing knowledge, skills, and competencies, helping you understand how different courses contribute to your overall learning and development.

In class

A wine merchant wants to know how his sales would be affected if he applied discounts of 10% or 25%. One bottle of wine gives you six glasses and in a small experiment the sales are observed given the price of one glass of wine. How would you advise the wine merchant? Here are the data of the experiment:
