Future prospects
Graduates of the programme become demographers skilled in quantitative methods and theories that enable them to study, quantify and predict demographic changes and trends.
The research and analytical skills of demographers are needed in many fields and institutions. Graduates of the program can find job opportunities in:
- National statistical offices
- Governments
- Ministries
- Municipalities
- Consultancy sector
- Life sciences
- Insurance companies
- Non-governmental and international organisations
The interdisciplinarity structure of the masters program enables graduates to understand and view demographic processes and their effects on the economy, pension reform, welfare politics and policy, and current and future provision of healthcare. This knowledge and insight is needed for public planners, policy makers and private companies needing population level analyses.
Moreover, with a strong foundational basis in programming and applications of quantitative methods, graduates will have a skillset that is demanded by a larger part of the private and public sector.
