BSc Economics and Finance, combined with a year abroad, provides you with a thorough training in economic analysis with an additional focus on understanding corporate finance, financial instruments, and financial markets. On this degree programme you’ll become an expert in economic and financial modelling techniques and statistical analysis. In your third year, you'll spend a year abroad at one of our many partner universities across the world. This is your chance to study while immersed in a completely different culture – giving you the academic and personal experience of a lifetime. You’ll develop a skills profile that is highly valued by employers: suitable either to enter employment directly or progress to postgraduate study. 

ABOUT

On this course, you'll combine a rigorous training in economics with a focus on finance. You'll study microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic modelling and statistics, and you'll also study the economics of corporate finance and of financial markets. You are likely to choose further modules in derivatives, financial risk management and alternative investments. You may then choose to deepen your quantitative skills through modules such as programming and data analysis, or to broaden your knowledge of economics generally by choosing from the full suite of modules on offer in the School of Economics.
