What is MSc Finance and Economics?

How can we tell if a company’s share price is truly ‘fair’? How can data on bond yields help predict the next recession? How can you design a portfolio of stocks and options to create a ‘perfect hedge’? These are just some of the compelling questions this MSc will prepare you to answer.

You’ll study economic theory, theoretical and applied econometrics, financial economics and financial econometrics. You’ll also have the flexibility to choose from a range of optional finance modules, varying in technical complexity. The available options include modules that reflect the School of Economics’ other research strengths, such as environmental economics and data science.

You’ll also complete a dissertation which is an exciting opportunity to apply your learning to independent research, guided by expert supervision, on a topic of your choice within financial economics or econometrics.
