New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation Class of 2022/2023 | Welcome to MSc Economics Tor Vergata!

Important information for new students of the MSc in Economics

Lectures and Exams

Classes begin on 29 August 2022. The program lasts two years. Each of the two academic years is divided into two semesters, and each semester is divided into two modules. Each module involves six weeks of teaching, with exams at the end of each module.

In the first module of the first semester (from 29 August to 21 October), students must follow the Statistics pre-course, the Mathematics course, the Statistics course, and the first part of the Coding for Economic Applications course (Matlab). The exams of the first module courses are immediately following lectures (from 24 to 28 October). Practice sessions for the Mathematics and Statistics courses will be added as soon as possible; you will find them in your timetable.

Lectures will be blended, i.e., in person and at the same time online via Microsoft Teams. The recording of the lesson is at the discretion of the professor. Given the nature of the course, attendance in person is strongly recommended.

Exams will be held only in person (no exceptions).

Classrooms are located in Building A of the School of Economics (via Columbia 2). Please check the classroom number on the lecture timetable. Electronic timetables are located on the ground floors of both Building A and Building B.

Lectures online are offered via Microsoft Teams. The code/link to access the online classes is on each course webpage. If this is unavailable, you should ask your professor for it directly. How to activate a Microsoft Teams account?

If you have completed the enrollment, you must activate an official university Microsoft Teams account.
If you are not enrolled yet in the MSc in Economics, you must request a temporary Microsoft Teams account; once enrolled, you must activate the official university account.

All details (syllabus, material, calendar, link/code to join the online classes) are on each course's web pages that are constantly updated.
