The programme is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in finance or economics in which advanced analytical capabilities and independent thought can contribute to self-fulfilment.

What you will study:

As a student on this programme, you will gain exposure to advanced economic concepts while mastering the complexities of the financial system. In the first semester you will develop a systematic understanding of the core principles in high-level microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and finance.

The second semester offers great optionality that will allow you to shape your programme according to your strengths, preferences and/or career aspirations. Several aspects of finance are covered (including international finance, derivatives markets, corporate finance, theory and applications in finance, and risk management) together with opportunities to enhance your econometric modelling skills (Econometrics 2 and Financial Econometrics) or explore aspects of economics at more depth Microeconomics 2, Economics of the Firm).

The PhD in Economics and Finance programme features a series of lectures/workshops in research methods that will allow you to build the skills you need to carry out independent research in economics/finance and complete your dissertation in the summer.
