Master in Economics and Data Analysis

Economics and Data Analysis combines core economic theory with statistical and computational methods used to interpret complex data sets. The discipline trains students to apply quantitative reasoning to questions in markets, policy, and business, using tools drawn from econometrics, statistics, and data science. This master's degree is taught in English at Università degli Studi di Bergamo, in Bergamo, Italy, and has a duration of two years. Typical subjects in this area include microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, probability and statistics, programming for data analysis, and applied modules that connect economic theory to real data problems such as forecasting, market analysis, or policy evaluation. Students learn to work with large data sets, build statistical models, and communicate findings to support decisions in both public and private organizations. Because economic analysis increasingly relies on computational tools, coursework often introduces programming languages and software used for data manipulation, visualization, and statistical inference, alongside the theoretical foundations that explain why particular models are appropriate for particular questions. Graduates of programs in Economics and Data Analysis pursue careers as economic analysts, data analysts, and researchers in banks, consulting firms, government agencies, and technology companies, where the ability to translate data into economic insight is in demand. Others continue into further graduate study, including doctoral research in economics or applied statistics. The combination of theory and applied technique also supports roles in market research, business intelligence, and policy analysis. Based in Bergamo, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, the program is delivered in English, which suits students from outside Italy as well as domestic students seeking an internationally oriented economics education grounded in quantitative methods.
