Girma Tesfahun Kassie

Joining the online applied econometrics postgraduate program of Timberlake Consultants and Lancaster University was one of the best academic decisions I ever made. The course portfolio, the amazing mix of Professors, and the teaching approach can hardly be any better. I found the new courses on machine learning and the conventional courses on modern econometrics very empowering and refreshing. I recommend this program to all who are keen to further sharpen their econometrics skills and/or to those who are interested in the current developments in econometric modelling. 

Rosanna Fernández-Castro

I am very pleased with the MSc programme. As I had already taken some Timberlake courses, I knew what to expect with regard to the quality of teaching and I was not disappointed. I am so satisfied with the lecturers. It is a privilege to attend their lectures and take advantage of their expertise. Apart from that, they are always ready and willing to clarify doubts.

​The course material is a very good guide. The slides and the recordings of the lectures were very good materials for each module I took.  If I want to go deeper extra readings were recommended.

​Online learning and flexible delivery have been key to my participation in this program. It is the only way I can take an MSc programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to take a break from work while admitted on the programme?

Both of our postgraduate programme's are designed to be as flexible as possible - allowing you to fit them around your schedule. You are able to build up to a full MSc at your own pace and can choose how many modules you wish to take each term. We would therefore suggest that you shouldn't need to take a break from work however, this may vary depending on the nature of your employment and the free time available to you. Once started, students may take up to 3 years to complete the full MSc.

If I complete the full MSc will my qualification be awarded by Timberlake or Lancaster University?

The degree is accredited and awarded by Lancaster University - those who complete the full programme will have the opportunity to attend a graduation ceremony at Lancaster University if they wish.

Are the courses within either programme conducted synchronously or asynchronously?

All sessions are conducted live and online at a scheduled time, but are also recorded. Students may attend live and watch the recordings back to recap the material or watch the recordings only if unable to attend live. We always advise students to attend live where possible as this will allow them the best opportunity to engage with the content and ask the lecturer's questions.
