Course summary
Overview
This Finance and Economics MSc equips you with the practical skills you need to address the complex issues faced by businesses, governments and financial institutions.
As you study, you’ll use evidence and real-world applications to challenge economic theories and models. This approach is combined with finance theory and practice to gain a deep understanding of, and the capacity to analyse, financial markets, investment potentials and risks.
Combining practical economics with finance prepares students for professional roles in:
- The finance and banking sector
- Central banks
- Treasury offices
- Different offices at national, supranational and local government level around the world
Financial economists use tools and concepts to address complex problems, such as financial instability and climate change, and offer potential practical, innovative solutions, such as central bank equity purchases to combat recessions and carbon markets to reduce CO2 emissions. Students can also exit with PGCert and PGDip awards.
