3 The Master of Arts in Quantitative Economics and Finance program with the curriculum of Course Regulations 03 (CR03) pursuant to the Examination Regulations of 24 February 2003 (as amended on 11 June 2011) will be run for the last time in the course cycle of Fall Semester 2009 (7th/9th semesters) and Spring Semester 2010 (8th semester). Students who started the program according to Course Regulations 03 will in principle complete their studies according to these Regulations. Students who enroll from Spring Semester 2010 will be transferred to the new Course Regulations in Fall Semester Course Regulations 03 will be effective until the end of Spring Semester Any work done by students until that time will then be transferred accordingly. 1. MiQE/F students who complete the program in accordance with Course Regulations 03 A. Compulsory courses that are identical in terms of content: CR03: 7,300 / 7,305 Mathematics and Statistics (6 credits) will also be offered as a compulsory course in Course Regulations 10. However, the two components will be separated, and credits will be awarded differently: Mathematics will cover 3 credits, and Statistics 4 credits. CR03:8,305 Time Series Econometrics (3 credits) will now be offered as a core elective and be raised to 4 credits (+1 credit). CR03: 8,330 Public Economics (3 credits) and CR03: 8,315 Microeconometrics (3 credits) will be offered as core electives in course Regulations 10, with 4 credits awarded for each course. students who have not attended any of these courses under Course Regulations 03 will have to attend it/them under Course Regulations 10. Any surplus credits can be credited towards core electives. B. Compulsory courses that are analogue in terms of content but have a new designation and are awarded credits differently: CR03: 9,300 Experimental Economics (3 credits) CR10: Behavioral and Experimental Economics (4 credits) CR03: 7,325 Econometric Methods (3 credits) CR10: Econometrics I (3 credits) CR03: 8,325 Applied Econometrics (3 credits) CR10: Econometrics II (4 credits) students who have not attended any of these courses under Course Regulations 03 will have to attend it/them under Course Regulations 10.

Students who have only attended one of the two courses will have to attend the new course. The surplus credit can be credited towards core electives or electives. The number of credits from courses attended under Course Regulations 10 that can be credited towards core electives or electives under Course Regulations 03 must not exceed MiQE/F students who have to change to CR10 A. Compulsory MiQE/F subjects CR03: 7,300 / 7,305 Mathematics and Statistics has to be credited. It will be credited towards the two separate courses, Mathematics (3 credits) and Statistics (4 credits). There will be an upgrade by + 1 credit. CR03: 8,305 Time Series Econometrics can be credited towards core electives in Field Courses Finance/Econometrics, with the number of credits (3 credits) remaining unchanged. CR03: 7,325 Econometric Methods (3 credits) has to be credited as the compulsory subject Econometrics I (3 credits). CR03: 8,325 Applied Econometrics (3 credits) has to be credited as the compulsory subject Econometrics II (4 credits). There will be an upgrade by + 1 credit.

6 General precept regarding surplus credits: If transfers of concerning courses CR03: 7,310, 8,310, 7,315, 8,300, 7,320 and 8,320 result in surplus credits, then a maximum of 4 credits can be credited towards core elective or electives under CR10. Special provisions: Students who have attended CR03: 9,300 Experimental Economics can have this course credited to core electives, with 3 credits awarded for it. Students in this situation must no longer attend the course on Behavioral and Experimental Economics offered under Course Regulations 10 since in terms of content, the two courses are equivalent. The new compulsory course on Advanced Mathematics and Statistics (4 credits) is offered as a MiQEF core elective under CR03. Students who have attended the course will have to have it credited to them under CR10. Students who have not attended this course will have to attend it under the new Regulations. B. MiQE/F core electives Under CR03 there is one single set of courses amounting to 6 credits. Under CR10 there are now three sets: Field Courses Finance/Econometrics (8 credits), Field Courses Economics (4 credits) and Other Core Electives (4 credits). Generally speaking, core electives attended under CR03 can be credited towards core electives regardless of the three new sets of courses. Please note: only one single crediting application can be submitted. Please note: only one single application to have compulsory courses and core electives credited can be submitted. Any later cancellations and retransfers are precluded. C. Electives and contextual studies Any elective courses and contextual studies courses that have already been attended under Course Regulations 03 will have to be credited to Course Regulations 10.
