Program's Overview

The programme of statistics Applied to Economy started at INES-Ruhengeri in 2010

This program was designed to produce competent graduates’ executives on the job market who are capable of designing, coordinating researching, providing technical advisors or continuing further studies in their area of specialization. Both females and males, who are able to apply statistical knowledge in understanding and evaluating economic events. It is emphasized that students study major subjects in the field of mathematics, statistics and economics. Great emphasis is put at encouraging participation of both females and males with a particular attention accorded to female students given that general trend of their performance tend to be lower than of their males’ counterparts. These will contribute in achieving the major purpose of establishing empirical link between the three fields, using case studies and project based approaches. Currently the department runs a four-years program where graduates are expected to graduate with bachelor in statistics applied to economy.
