Our MSc in Financial Economics is designed to enhance the knowledge of graduates who have interests and career aspirations in financial institutions or international financial organisations. Course content includes advanced micro and macroeconomics, econometrics, together with a range finance-related issues.
In particular, the course is structured to provide an understanding of the application of economic analysis to financial markets and institutions, the role of financial institutions and markets in the domestic and international economy, the different approaches to economic decision making in finance, and the economic governance structures and institutions that support the financial system.
Recent economic events have revealed the fragile and complex nature of the connections between different economies globally, and the significance of domestic and international financial markets in increasing the interdependence of economies and their exposure to external risks. This course relates closely to the ongoing debate about the nature of the financial system, its regulation, and its future role in national and international economies.
