European Master in Official Statistics

EMOS loggo

The European Master in Official Statistics (EMOS) is a label awarded by the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC) to master’s programmes providing postgraduate education in the area of official statistics. It is a shared initiative by Eurostat, the European Statistical System (ESS) and the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), which aims to educate students in official statistics and data science to become highly skilled statisticians with expertise in official statistics, and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience between the European producers of official statistics and lecturers, researchers, and students in this field.
