MSc Economics and Finance

Our MSc in Economics and Finance is designed for students who want to understand how economic forces shape financial systems, asset prices and institutional decision-making. The programme provides rigorous training in advanced economic analysis, applied financial modelling and quantitative methods, giving you the tools to interpret market behaviour and evaluate financial risk in real-world settings.
You will develop the technical skills needed to work confidently with financial datasets, valuation models and econometric techniques used in professional finance. The programme places a strong emphasis on data-driven decision-making, enabling you to assess investment strategies, analyse market dynamics and understand the macrofinancial environment in which firms and institutions operate.
The curriculum reflects the evolving structure of global finance, including financial integration, market volatility, monetary policy transmission and the role of regulation in maintaining financial stability. Specialist modules in areas such as corporate finance, derivatives, portfolio management and financial risk align your learning with industry practice and provide practical analytical experience.

Students must attain a minimum 2:2 (or overseas equivalent) in an economics related undergraduate degree. While a prior degree in Economics is expected, students with a background in a mathematically oriented subject area will be eligible for consideration, such as chemistry, maths, computer science, engineering, physics, finance or statistics.
