Study Details: MSc 10 months full-time only
The MSc Finance and Economics draws on the School’s strengths in economics, finance and econometrics. It is aimed at students who are interested in gaining a deep understanding of the theory and practice of financial markets.
This interdisciplinary degree, taught jointly by the Department of Finance and the Department of Economics, offers exceptional graduates from quantitative disciplines the opportunity to study in two of the most highly rated departments in their subject areas in the world.
As we teach you not only how to apply and use various well-known models, but also to understand the fundamental concepts on which they are based, you will learn how to alter, test and adapt these models in new market environments. In learning what makes the models tick, you will develop an awareness of the assumptions on which they rely, and – increasingly important in today’s markets – of situations in which these assumptions can break down.
Upper second class honours (2:1) degree or international equivalent in a quantitative subject such as economics, maths, physics, engineering, or finance. Your training must include at least a year of calculus and a semester of linear algebra.
Admission to this programme is very competitive. In previous years, the majority of students accepted into the programme had obtained 1st class honours degrees or the equivalent.
Even if you meet the minimum entry requirement, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission.
