Course summary

Are you particularly interested in the financial aspects of economics? Do you want answers to questions such as, what drives stock prices? How should assets be allocated among a portfolio of possible investments? How do international financial markets work? Is it true that they suffer from systemic risk? If so, welcome home. So, if you want to specialise in financial economics, your first degree isn’t in economics, or your previous economics training doesn’t suit our MSc courses, our MA Financial Economics may be for you.
