The MRes Finance and Econometrics is a research-oriented postgraduate programme for students who already hold an MSc in economics or a related field and who may wish to progress to doctoral study. The MRes Finance and Econometrics is an approved pathway for ESRC funding, enabling students to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both the MRes and a PhD, and successful MRes graduates to apply subsequently for ESRC +3 PhD funding. Teaching is by a combination of lectures and seminar-style instruction that may involve student presentations or open discussion. For the dissertation component of the programme, you will be assigned an individual supervisor who will guide your progress and provide feedback. Taught modules are assessed through a combination of coursework and examinations, which take place either during term or in the designated examination period at the end of the academic year. Successful candidates will be eligible to progress to doctoral study and will also be qualified for research careers in both the private and the public sector.
