MSc Economics and Finance

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc Full-time: 1 year MSc Part-time: 2 years

Course Description

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 skills 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. Graduates of the programme are also well placed to pursue further study in economics and/or finance.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a 2:1 UK honours degree in either Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Finance, Mathematics, Physics or Statistics, or a recognised equivalent international qualification.

Alternatively we will consider a UK 2:1 or overseas equivalent in another subject if you achieve above 60 per cent (UK grading or overseas equivalent) in Macroeconomics and Microeconomics modules and one other module from Algebra, Calculus, Mathematics, Probability, Quantitative Methods or Statistics.

Applicants with a 2:1 degree or overseas equivalent in other subjects who have substantial work experience in the field of their desired specialisation will also be considered.
