This course is for you if you want to deepen your knowledge of Economics or Finance and potentially go on to study a PhD or research in the area of Economics or Finance.

Our MSc in Financial Economics provides you with a foundation for a career as an economic or financial analyst in the business, government or a major international organisation.
