Location of University of Essex

The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Careers in business and finance often require an economic approach, which our MSc Financial and Business Economics provides by allowing you to study the economical principles that are at the heart of finance and business, and to develop an awareness of their applications.

One compulsory module, Topics in Financial Economics, covers a variety of topics in corporate finance and looks closely at two broad questions: (i) how to raise funds to maintain the activity of the firm?, and, (ii) who should control the firm? You start with asset pricing algebra, and defining debt and equity in the firm as basic options, leading up to the Modigliani-Miller irrelevance theorems. You graduate with key employability skills like numeracy and ICT knowledge, research skills, information and communication skills, and the ability to evaluate trends in business and finance.
