MSc International Business Finance and Economics is part of our Applied Training Programme, which is designed to provide key skills in economics. It’s ideal if you’re a graduate without an economics background, yet wish to develop the analytical skills of an economist. It’s also suitable if you’re an economics graduate and wish to develop specialist expertise in this area without committing to full research training.

The compulsory component of your degree consists of taught modules in Economic Concepts, Finance, Financial Econometrics, International Finance, and Multinational Firms. In addition to these, you will choose an option from a range of modules, including Financial Mathematics and Environmental Economics.

You will write a dissertation towards the end of your 12 months with us from within the area of international business finance and economics, which will be supervised by a member of the School of Economics.

We also offer additional support to help you get the most from your Master’s. This includes an optional, intensive pre-sessional course in the fortnight before your programme begins in September. This courseincorporates an introduction to the specialist econometric software that you will use in your MSc programme. While not compulsory, we strongly recommend you take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

Upon completing this MSc you can pursue a variety of careers in finance, management and international business.

Past graduates from the School of Economics have gone on to work for HM Treasury, the Home Office, Bank of England, Aviva, Barclays, M+A Partners, BDO, Deloitte, Ernst and Young, Goldman Sachs, Grant Thornton, HSBC, JP Morgan, KPMG, Lloyds, PwC and Santander amongst others.
