The Bachelor of Commerce specialising in Econometrics at the University of Pretoria is a three-year degree that introduces students to economic theory, economic policy, and the statistical theory underpinning empirical analysis. The core modules for econometrics specialisation are economics, mathematical statistics, and mathematics — equipping students with the quantitative skills to measure and analyse actual economic and business phenomena, forecast economic trends, and evaluate the impact of economic policies. Econometrics is applied in quantifying economic theory and analysing real-world transactions associated with human behaviour, making graduates valuable to banks, government institutions, and research organisations that depend on rigorous data analysis for decision-making.
