As well as microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and how it is applied to real-life problems, you’ll also develop your understanding of foundational theories of corporate finance.<br/><br/>This knowledge base will support your specialist learning when you choose from a range of optional modules. You could explore different areas of economics and finance such as financial derivatives and money, monetary policy and the global financial crisis.<br/><br/>These different elements of your learning will give you in-depth knowledge of specific topics alongside your broader grounding in economics and finance. You’ll also sharpen your research skills and gain an awareness of different methodologies.
