The MSc Economics and Finance programme will provide you with the capability to apply modern macroeconomic, microeconomic and econometric methods in order to assess and shape organisational, government and financial policy. Our MSc Economics and Finance programme is designed to equip you with the key skills of a professional economist, for careers in banking, finance government (central banking, treasury, etc.), international organisations, business, management consultancy, economic consultancy, and for higher awards by research. You will study economic theory and policy, the actions of governments, firms, households and intermediaries in national and global money, bond and foreign exchange markets. You will examine both the microeconomic impacts for firms and the macroeconomic implications for the global economy, and will develop advanced theoretical and quantitative skills – highly sought after by employers in financial services and government – as well as transferable skills that will be of value in a range of other business and policy sectors. You will also be able to sharpen your practical skills by completing a research project that allows you to apply your knowledge of economics and finance. Well-trained, numerate economists are in high demand in every sector of the economy. Graduates will be equipped with the skills of a professional economist for careers in banking, finance, government (central banking, treasury, etc.), international organisations, business, management consultancy, economic consultancy, and for higher awards by research.
