We will prepare you for specialist quantitatively orientated careers in financial economics, research, and forecasting, as well as those in the areas of business and investment management and finance.

You will explore the global role of financial systems in modern economics and learn to analyze the impact of economic events on financial markets. You will become a proficient user of financial software and complex data sources which will enable you to better understand the impact and reach of economic decisions.

An optional year studying abroad or undertaking an industry placement will enhance your skills and build your professional network. Your time with us will also equip you with the research techniques that are vital to postgraduate study.
