Your pre-research master trajectory

Academic preparation

Depending on their educational background, students may want to prepare academically for one or more core sequences before they come to BDS. Programming, math, statistics and econometrics are some of the important building blocks for our research master.

We suggest students to familiarize themselves upfront with the material of the first blocks (Math/Stats/Advanced Math/Asymptotic Stats/Decision Theory) and to fill their gaps in programming, math, statistics and econometrics by taking online courses, and/or reading some books on the following topics below.
