Regular Courses

Our team members are involved in organising and teaching a number of courses at Ghent University.
Some examples of Master/PhD level courses:

- Complexity and criticality - Faculty of Sciences
- Networks in Socio-economic systems - Faculty of Economics and Business - interdisciplinary course, also for students from other faculties
- Complexity economics and agent-based modelling - Faculty of Economics and Business - interdisciplinary course, also for students from other faculties

Students from different programmes and universities are welcomed to enroll. Contact the respective course leader (or lecturer-in-charge) for details on the content and required skills. For enrolment, check regulations with the secretariat of the master programme.


Master thesis projects

We announce master thesis projects internally but feel free to get in touch if you want to discuss some ideas related to our research expertise, e.g. complexity, social physics, econophysics, network science, data science, banking, finance, sampling hard-to-reach populations, agent-based models, etc.
