The Economics & Finance MSc provides you with rigorous coverage of both the theory and practice of the discipline, delivering a high-quality, research-based education of practical relevance that is driven by a combination of research, theory development, critical analysis, and practical application.
You will gain the knowledge to build a strong career in the business and finance sectors, as you learn about micro and macroeconomics, financial markets and services, and the relationship between finance and econometrics. The programme is also designed to cover contemporary empirical evidence in applied economics, with a focus on macroeconomic policy and/or international economics as well as the internal workings of corporations, financial institutions and financial services firms and their inter-relationships.
But you won't just learn the key quantitative skills you need for success. Our courses are underpinned by the underlying philosophies and methodologies of a social science approach to economics and finance. Numbers are important, but understanding how those numbers affect the wider world of finance and business is essential in the modern world.
