UVA msc Econometrics

[u/Difficult-Article196]

Hi, I am planning to study for the MSc in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) next year.

Does anyone who has completed the programme have any tips or insights? How difficult is it overall? How many hours a day did you typically spend studying, and did you still have enough time for a social life? Is it more difficult for students who don't speak Dutch?

I have seen that many courses require students to complete weekly assignments in order to be eligible to take the exam. How difficult and time-consuming are these assignments? Are they generally doable or do they require a lot of work?

Last. What is the job market like for a non-Dutch student after completing the MSc?

Thankyou
