Doctoral Study Track Quantitative Analysis (QA)

The QA study track offers PhD students the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field combining economics and mathematics. The QA track aims to prepare PhD students to analyse and solve challenging problems in economic policy, finance and the business world. Its foundations can also be used to analyse specific issues in, for example, health economics, environmental economics or the economics of the energy sector. 
Individuals who demonstrate analytical skills are invited to join the QA study track. A prerequisite for admission to the QA track is a degree in social sciences (preferably economics) or mathematical and natural sciences. Graduates of business and economics programmes often lack in-depth training in quantitative methods, and mathematicians and statisticians rarely have a background in economics. The QA study track allows a combination of knowledge from these two fields. The diverse skill set allows for a more in-depth and reliable analysis of data and thus a more effective solution to complex economic problems.
