Overview

The Econometrics and Statistics course phase at Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) is designed to provide students with sufficient methodological background to write a quantitatively oriented PhD Thesis on topics related to Economics or Finance.

Features

The first phase consists of 10 core courses with corresponding exams. Each course is awarded with 3 study credits, for a total of 30 ECTS.

A part of the courses is mandatory (core courses) and another part consists of electives that can be taken at USI or other universities, e.g., in the ProDoc or the NCCR FINRISK programmes, conditional on a formal prior acceptance by the PhD committee.
