Master of Science - Economics and Finance

Master's Degree

Program Summary

The Master of Science in Economics and Finance programme will provide students with the capability to apply modern macroeconomic, microeconomic and econometric methods in order to assess and shape organisational, government and financial policy. Students will study economic theory and policy, the actions of governments, firms, households and intermediaries in national and global money, bond and foreign exchange markets.

Students will examine both the microeconomic impacts for firms and the macroeconomic implications for the global economy, and will develop advanced theoretical and quantitative skills – highly sought after by employers in financial services and government – as well as transferable skills that will be of value in a range of other business and policy sectors. In addition, there is the opportunity to sharpen students' practical skills by completing a research project that allows them to apply their knowledge of economics and finance.
