Econometrics for Finance or Quantitative Methods

Across all the MSc Accounting and Finance options, you will select one of two very important modules. Both of these areas are important for employers. Econometrics provides you with an intuitive grasp of the theoretical concepts and basic skills required to estimate and interpret economic models, with a strong focus on statistical analysis. Quantitative Methods equips you with the knowledge and skills required to use statistics in research in accounting or finance and to introduce you to statistical thinking.

Research methods

Examine what academic research is and why it is important in the key module, studied in all the Accounting and Finance degrees. What is research, why are we doing it and how do we create knowledge through it? This module is vital to assist in your dissertation. It also helps your career development, essential if you want to pursue an academic career, but equally important if you want to work in the finance sector. Research skills allow you to analyze and report on data, make decisions, and develop creative thinking and solutions for your business.
