Data Science and Business Analytics (graduate programme, 2 years, in English)
This programme is designed for students whose main area of interest is quantitative analysis in economics, finance, business, or the social sciences. Candidates should have a solid background in quantitative (and related) methods, e.g., statistics, probability calculus, and mathematics. The aim of the Data Science and Business Analytics programme is to train data analysts with broad programming skills, who understand business and economic processes and can easily communicate with business clients. Therefore, the curriculum includes four pillars: quantitative methods, IT programming, knowledge of economics and finance, soft skills. An important subject is the 'Understanding Business' course, which provides a platform for business communication, designed to create joint projects in business-university partnerships and identify the business needs of data scientists. The Data Science and Business Analytics programme is based on R and Python, but also includes other statistical languages and software such as SQL, 4GL, and SAS. The aim of the programme is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to perform complex and insightful data analysis, which will help them make bold business decisions.
The MSc Data Science and Business Analytics programme is the best in Central & Eastern Europe for data analytics, according to the Eduniversal Best Masters Ranking 2024. The Data Science and Business Analytics programme at the Faculty of Economics is a four-semester, English-language programme that provides students with exceptional knowledge in the area of data science. It combines extensive knowledge and skills in data analysis, econometrics, machine learning, and IT programming with soft skills, making the graduates of the programme highly desirable experts.

Quantitative Finance (graduate programme, 2 years)
The study programme is designed to prepare students for professional careers in Polish and international financial institutions, where they will be able to: implement complex derivative pricing models (Derivatives Markets, Equity and Fixed Income, Theory and Practice of Option Pricing, C++ in Quantitative Finance, Computational Finance), manage various risks in financial institutions (Risk Analysis and Modelling, Corporate Finance), exercise competence in asset portfolio management, considering the ongoing changes in the financial environment (Asset Allocation and Investment Strategies and Financial Statement Analysis), apply knowledge of recent developments in financial research (empirical aspects of financial markets). The knowledge and skills presented will be supplemented with subjects in economics (Advanced Microeconomics and Advanced Macroeconomics), courses in mathematics and econometrics (Mathematical Methods in Finance, Time Series Analysis, Quantitative Strategies, High Frequency Data), and classes presenting the architecture of the world of finance (Theory of Finance), which help students understand the complex world of financial models and find a niche in it for themselves. The programme assumes that students will be equipped with theoretical knowledge and practical skills that will enable them to make independent decisions based on real-time financial data, using the tools and techniques that are developing dynamically in modern finance. The Quantitative Finance programme is designed to prepare students for jobs in the finance industry and beyond, including financial engineering and risk management, macroeconomic and financial forecasting, quantitative asset management, quantitative trading, and applied research. Students gain mathematical skills in areas such as: probability and statistics, portfolio theory, equity and interest rate derivatives, including exotic options, linear algebra and differential equations, differential, integral, and stochastic calculus. We teach our students how to: use mathematical models to support more accurate asset pricing, stock selection, asset allocation, investment portfolio analysis, or securities trading, quantify statistical parameters such as volatility and return correlations, to derive new ways to assess risk and design effective hedging strategies, design algorithms to replace the traditional process of subjective trading decisions, validate models, conduct research, and develop new strategies, provide investors with valuation and trading tools, use value options, convertible instruments, and other derivatives, control and manage risks, model the behaviour of financial markets. In addition, the study programme and its level of difficulty assume that students will be prepared to conduct independent research and continue their education with doctoral studies at Polish and/or foreign universities. The detailed study programme has been designed to facilitate effective preparation for examinations, enabling students to obtain a licence such as CFA, Securities Broker, or Investment Advisor. This is a great added value for the graduate, thanks to which future graduates gain a significant advantage over "competitors" on the job market, at the outset.
The Quantitative Finance programme is ranked 2nd in Central & Eastern Europe, according to the Eduniversal Best Masters 2024 ranking, in the category of Financial Markets. The two-year master’s degree in Quantitative Finance, which is taught in English, offers unique courses on quantitative finance from the perspective of the latest scientific developments and experiences of financial institutions. The programme is addressed to graduates of bachelor’s degree programmes from foreign and domestic universities, who would like to associate their professional future with financial institutions, regulators and supervisors of these institutions, and other organisations operating in the financial and banking environment both in Poland and abroad.

Master in Statistics, Data Intelligence, and the Foundations of the Sciences
The Master aims to fill a gap in the Data Science and STEM fields by integrating theoretical tools and empirical methods for an educated approach to data analysis, scientific experimentation, use of simulation tools in scientific inference and forecasting, as well as evaluation of evidence for policy purposes. The uniqueness of the Master’s training offer is linked to three aspects: The integration of courses on advanced data analysis and inferential techniques (machine learning, deep learning, AI), as well as tutorials on some of the most widespread data processing tools (Python, STATA, R, Matlab), with courses dedicated to the foundations of the scientific method, epistemology, and philosophy of science. A particular focus is directed towards the theoretical foundations of the scientific methods. Emphasis on the distinction between pure “truth-conducive” aims and strategic goals at play in scientific practice. Formal analysis of strategic interactions in the scientific ecosystem as well as political and economic analysis of science in society. Identification of the various scientific sub-systems (scientific, governmental, socio-economic institutions and society at large) and their joint work within broader socio-economic structures. Policy-making and the role of scientific evidence in decision-making, both personal and collective, with particular attention to the debate on the so-called “Evidence-based policy” and the related political and civil implications. The Master is aimed at students and scholars from both the human sciences and STEM disciplines, but also at professionals who want to enrich their skills in the field of data analysis, science epistemology, and evidence-based policy. The master is fully in English and takes one year to complete. The master allows for enrollment as a regular student or an auditor. Regular students are required to attend 70% of the lectures in person and receive a master degree after successful completion of the program.
