BSc (Econ) (Hons) Economics and International Finance with Integrated Foundation Year

In an ever-more connected world, we need to understand trade, finance and strategy on an international level. The 2008 financial crisis showed us how regional events can have massive global consequences. Understanding financial decision-making, risk management and the behaviour of global financial markets has never been so important. You’ll develop an international perspective from the first semester, with a module on the world economy. You’ll cover macroeconomics and microeconomics, and learn to apply quantitative techniques. You’ll also study financial topics such as international finance and international trade. With a wide choice of modules in the final year, you can direct your studies to your interests or career goals, from behavioural economics to corporate strategy and the finance of emerging markets. International students can apply for our Economics and International Finance BSc with an Integrated Foundation Year. The foundation year, taught on campus by Queen Mary lecturers, prepares you for the rest of the programme and can be started in either September or January.
