Student Testimonials

Having already completed a moretheoretical master’s in economics; I was looking for a programme that couldbridge the gap between academic foundations and applied econometricpractice.  The Timberlake/Lancaster MScin Applied Econometrics delivered exactly that and more.

What appealed to me most was thestructure: flexible, modular, and professionally relevant.  I was able to focus on areas directly alignedwith my interests and work, including time series analysis and forecasting,while also exploring unfamiliar techniques such as machine learning and MonteCarlo simulation.  The ability to customisethe programme made it both practical and intellectually rewarding.

What stood out most was the exceptionalcalibre of instruction.  Each module wasled by field-leading academics and practitioners, who brought cutting-edgeknowledge to the sessions.  The onlineformat—with live sessions, recorded lectures, and hands-on assignments—made thecontent accessible and engaging, regardless of where I was based.

The MSc helped me sharpen myeconometric toolkit and I was pleased to gain extensive exposure to the tools,concepts, and software essential for effective analysis.  DataCamp access was also a welcome bonus, supportingthe parallel development of my programming skills.

This MSc gave me the applied edgeI was missing.  It strengthened myeconometric intuition, sharpened my coding workflow, and gave me the confidenceto take on more complex empirical projects.  I would recommend it without hesitation toanyone seeking a rigorous yet flexible path to applied expertise.

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. 

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.
