Summary/Abstract: The paper examines what place statistics and econometrics occupy in the curricula of future economists with bachelor degree in the top 10 universities according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022 (Social Sciences & Management), compared to Bulgarian universities. It is found that students majoring in economics at these top universities must study at least one statistical course and one econometric course. The mandatory nature does not deprive them of the opportunity to choose the course most suitable for them from the many offered in the statistical and econometric block. Training in statistic and econometric courses is tied to the use of statistical and econometric software.
