Course summary

How can we tell if a company’s share price is truly ‘fair’? How can data on bond yields help predict the next recession? How can you design a portfolio of stocks and options to create a ‘perfect hedge’? These are just some of the compelling questions this MSc will prepare you to answer.

This MSc in Finance and Economics is part of our Academic and Professional Programme – designed for people who have already studied economics and are looking for intensive research-led training in advanced economic theory and econometrics, with a focus on finance.

Our dynamic teaching combines lectures, workshops, student presentations, group activities, IT lab sessions, and guest lectures. Many members of the School of Economics are active researchers in Finance and Financial Econometrics, which ensures you’ll benefit from a strong research-led learning experience. To support your success, we provide specialised structural support, starting with an intensive pre-sessional programme covering calculus, matrix algebra, and an introduction to STATA-the econometrics software you'll use throughout the course. During the year, you'll also receive training in using a range of online data sources, including key financial databases, to support your dissertation research.

You’ll study economic theory, theoretical econometrics, and financial econometrics. You’ll also have the flexibility to choose from a range of finance modules, varying in technical complexity. The available options include modules that reflect the School of Economics’ other research strengths, such as environmental economics and data science. You’ll also complete a dissertation which is an exciting opportunity to apply your learning to independent research, guided by expert supervision, on a topic of your choice within financial economics or econometrics. You may even collaborate with external organisations for a work-based learning experience. If you discover a passion for research, this could be your springboard to a PhD.
