Course content

The finance industry is a big part of the economy – and not just in the UK where it employs more than one million people. Economists typically solve problems that are intricately related to resource allocation, and this means that they are well placed to understand in depth – and help shape – financial markets.

Our MSc in Economics and Finance will engage you with a transformative curriculum that promotes advanced knowledge in both subjects and offers many opportunities to develop competencies that are relevant to the modern world.

The programme is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in finance or economics in which advanced analytical capabilities and independent thought can contribute to self-fulfilment. Also, graduates of the programme are well placed to pursue further study in economics and/or finance.

We are a top-10 UK economics school in research (REF 2021) and ranked 61st in the world for business and economics by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022.
