Tinbergen Institute

The Tinbergen Institute (TI) is a school for research and graduate education run jointly in collaboration with the Economics Faculties of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), VU University Amsterdam and the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR).

The TI is committed to offering excellent Master's programmes in economics, econometrics and finance. Admission to the programme is therefore limited to only the best students. The maximum intake is 30 students a year, with roughly 50% recruited from other countries. The lecturers are leading researchers in the three participating faculties.

The TI has independent offices in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Each student is assigned a desk and a computer. The research atmosphere is active and dynamic.
