Course Overview

Our MSc in Financial Economics will give you the tools and techniques you need to investigate important economic issues. It provides a thorough grounding in mathematical and econometric techniques, as well as microeconomics, and examines why financial markets are prone to crises, studying the details of past and present crises, and subsequent policy responses.

You will learn how to express original academic ideas and to test them with the use of econometrics. The study of econometrics covers linear and dynamic linear regression models, a wide variety of hypothesis tests, and techniques for estimating systems of equations. Techniques are illustrated with economic examples, such as models with rational expectations, as well as consumption, production, and money demand functions.

Graduates can pursue career paths in banking and finance, the public sector, industry, and research and analysis. Possible professions include:

financial risk analyst

economist

researcher

purchasing manager

management consultant

actuary.
