Pre-Master's program Econometrics and Mathematical Economics
We offer tailor-made Pre-Master’s programs for students with a Bachelor's degree from a Research University that covers most but not all entry requirements of the MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics. Due to the advanced content of the program, we cannot offer a Pre-Master's program to students who graduated from a Dutch HBO.
Pre-Master's programs
For international and Dutch WO students
Tilburg University offers a program designed for students with a university Bachelor's degree that does not entirely meet the entry requirements of the Master's program in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics.
Tailor made to individual learning needs
The program is tailor-made to individual learning needs and consists of a maximum of 30 ECTS, providing you with the essential foundation needed to pursue your Master's in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics.
Courses potentially offered in the Pre-Master's program are:
Linear Algebra
Introduction Analysis and Probability Theory
Mathematical Analysis 1
Mathematical Analysis 2
Probability and Statistics
Statistics for Econometrics
Advanced Linear Algebra
Differentiation and Integration Theory
Econometrics
Application and admission
As a university graduate you are encouraged to apply for the Master’s program directly. After receiving your application the admissions board will assess your academic background, and decide whether:
You can be admitted directly into the Master’s program.
You can be offered a Pre-Master’s program (6 to 30 ECTS).
Your academic background is unfortunately not matching enough to cover the gap with a 30 ECTS Pre-Master’s program. In that case admission is not possible.
If you have a Bachelor's degree in Econometrics or a similar qualification from a university recognized by the Admissions Board you will be accepted directly. A solid academic background in mathematics, statistics and econometrics is required.
The following literature gives you an idea of the level of mathematics and statistics we require for entry into the program:
L.J.Bain & M.Engelhardt, Introduction to Probability and Mathematical Statistics, Duxbury, 2nd edition
William F. Trench, Introduction to real Analysis, (2013), Books and Monographs, book 7
D.C. Lay, Linear Algebra and its Applications, Pearson, 4th edition
Note that these requirements are indicative, the final assessment lies with the admissions committee.
