Our Financial Economics degree introduces you to the tools that economists have developed in financial and money markets. This work has been enormously influential in contributing to the development of financial instruments used by households, firms and governments in their respective decisions to save or borrow. A particular feature of the course is that it emphasises real-world examples. The programme aims to: provide a stimulating education in the principles of economics and finance along with their application to the real world, and motivate students to achieve their full potential; provide a flexible and progressive curriculum that is suitable for students who have or have not studied economics or finance before; develop in students the ability to apply economic knowledge, analytical tools and skills in a range of theoretical, applied and policy problems.
