2 different degrees

• Master Degree in Econometrics (at least 22,5 credits from the optional courses have to be courses in econometrics and the thesis needs to be econometric)

Some advise…
• Teaching is very much based on students’ presence at lectures. Even if lectures are mostly voluntarily I strongly recommend you to attend
• Lectures often include aspects not provided by the literature
• Please be on time at lectures
• Economics at the Department is to a large extent applied and requires computer skills (statistical softwares, dealing with data, writing term papers, assignments, and finally thesis)
![Page 11: Welcome to the Master programme in Economics!. 05/10/2015/ Adam Jacobsson Staff Director of studies Adam Jacobsson. Office hours: by agreement, room A734,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e875503460f94b8ae10/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

…some more advice
• Make use of computer labs in different courses!
• Difficult to catch up if you miss much
• You have the right to a supervisor for the thesis at the fourth semester only. The supervisor has no obligations except at this semester
• This is an “integrated” program. Try to follow the sequence of courses. See course syllabi for prerequisites (talk to Peter)!

…finally…
• No aides such as calculators, mobile phones etc are allowed on exams (unless otherwise specified)!
• Be careful to comply with exam instructions as failing to do so can lead to disciplinary actions.
• When writing your thesis, be careful to avoid plagiarism (more about this next year)!
