MSc Economics and Finance

Suitable for graduates in economics, finance or a highly quantitative discipline, this programme combines advanced training in economics and econometrics with opportunities to build expertise in finance.

You will apply knowledge and techniques from both fields to areas such as financial markets and corporate finance, preparing you for a career in the banking industry or financial sector.

With the ability to choose optional units alongside core content during the programme, you’ll be able to tailor your study to your specific academic interests and future career plans. Undertaking a dissertation will also allow you to further develop analytical and research skills as you showcase your economics knowledge – skills that are highly sought after by employers across many fields.
