Course summary

This course provides an opportunity to combine an understanding of sophisticated economic theory and advanced financial analysis.

You’ll study micro and macroeconomics and the methodology of econometric research, while exploring corporate finance and the financial economics tools commonly used in financial services, quantitative investment analysis and research.

You’ll take an open-minded approach to economic problems, studying current mainstream theory and applied techniques alongside a range of alternative critical perspectives.

Developed and delivered by highly qualified staff with research and consultancy expertise, this course will equip you to meet the growing demand for economics that has global impact, real-world application and the power to influence change.

Course Highlights

Approach the study of economics in a highly interdisciplinary way, understanding global challenges by drawing on expertise from one of the major hubs of heterodox economics research in the UK.

You’ll have access to world-leading research and expertise through the Applied Institute for Research in Economics, hosted here at the University.

Learn advanced finance concepts from leading academic and practitioners in the Business School’s Accounting and Finance department, and gain access to the knowledge of our specialist research units, including the Centre for Advanced Study in Finance, the International Banking Institute, and the Credit Management Research Centre.

Benefit from our pluralist approach, helping you gain broad insight into different theoretical perspectives, preparing you for a wide variety of graduate opportunities.

Take part in debates in both mainstream and non-mainstream economics.

Choose from innovative optional modules which explore major policy issues through the economics lens.

On all Masters courses at Leeds University Business School you’ll have an opportunity to apply for a place on a week-long international study tour which will include company visits, guest lectures and networking events, as well as an opportunity to visit local places of interest.
