On May 22, 2025, the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) awarded the European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) label to the Data Science in Economics master's degree program. This achievement represents a significant recognition of the quality of the Faculty of Economic Informatics of the Bratislava University of Economics and Business and at the same time confirms that the study program meets the highest European standards in the field of statistics and data science.
Obtaining the EMOS certification opens up new opportunities for students – from participation in specialized trainings and internships to participation in international professional conferences. Graduates of the program gain comprehensive knowledge in the field of official statistics and become sought-after experts in the labor market.
Study programmes included in the EMOS network connect universities with national statistical offices and central banks across Europe. Their aim is to prepare graduates for professional careers in official statistics and data analysis.
The University of Economics in Bratislava, through the Faculty of Economic Informatics, has become part of this prestigious network for a period of five academic years - until the end of the academic year 2029/2030. Currently, the EMOS network includes 33 study programs in 20 countries, with the Data Science in Economics program being the only representative from Slovakia.
