Thus, mobility is an integrated part of the two-year master&#8217;s programme. In addition to data analyses, this specialisation also focuses on financial markets and economic policy topics. The students choosing this study track do not need to pay extra for their studies at Ghent University. You will receive two diplomas with the following degrees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Master of Arts in Quantitative Economics (University of Tartu)<\/li>\n<li>Master of Science in Economics (Ghent University)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The students will be selected for their study track at the time of admission to the master&#8217;s programme.

An internship course of 3 ECTS is part of the elective modules.<\/p>\n<p>During the practical training, the student is expected to gain economic research experience by applying the theoretical knowledge obtained during the coursework to the empirical or theoretical study of a specific economic problem. The internship may comprise very different kinds of activities: economic analysis in the central bank research department, work in a data analytics company, work in a ministry or other public sector organization, and helping to establish a start-up company. In the practical training, some linkage with quantitative analysis and\/or economics is expected, i.e. we do not expect academic economic research in a narrow sense, but internship may include, e.g. 1) writing applied reports; 2) collecting information; 3) making data accessible for research and analysis; 4) statistical data analysis; 5) collecting literature and writing literature reviews.<\/p>\n<p><b>When do students generally do their internship?<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most of the master&#8217;s students have taken an internship in the summer month after the 1<sup>st<\/sup> year of their studies. It is logical to apply for an internship after the basic skills in economic theory and econometric analysis have been acquired in the 1st year of the master&#8217;s studies courses. Yet, we encourage the students to take internships outside of the summer months, e.g. in the Fall or Winter of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year of the master&#8217;s studies.

In particular, we have provided the students with a list of possible places (companies and other organizations) for practical training in Estonia and the other Baltic States. The internship mediation page <a href=\"https:\/\/praktika.ut.ee\/\">FUTULAB<\/a> has also been created. However, students have to apply for the internship themselves. The internship can be taken in any country, given that it matches the profile of the study curriculum. One can apply for funding from the Erasmus+ programme when taking an internship abroad.
