Organisations Where Our Students Work

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.
