Hi! I have some questions about Tilburg University:
How difficult is to enter in the Msc Economics program? Are they very picky? More than Barcelona Graduate School of Economics?
What about the difficulty of the program? Has it a path to pursue a Phd?
Is this MSC recommended?
What about the same questions with Econometrics Msc?
Kind regards

Thus, in the World University Rankings’20, the school bagged rank #36 (by subject-Economics & Econometrics). Additionally, the Tilburg University stands at rank #42 in Netherlands.
In essence, the Tilburg University is considered a decent option for MSc Economics degree in contrast to the BSc Economics degree.
Given the MSc economics program, here’s a take on the rankings-the university ranks #33- Worldwide in Business and Economics- Times Higher Education Subject Ranking, 2020 and ranks #17 in Business & Economics worldwide- US Best News Global Universities, 2020.
Also, according to the National Student Survey, 2018, it was found that 95.1% of the current students (at that pint of time) were very satisfied with the program. Further as per the National Alumni Survey, 2018, 78% agreed to a large extent that the program constitutes a good starting point for further knowledge/skills development.
