MSc International Business Finance and Economics

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, wishing to develop the analytical skills of an economist. It’s also suitable if you’re an economics graduate wishing 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 course incorporates an introduction to the specialist econometric software that you'll use in your MSc programme. While not compulsory, we strongly recommend you take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

Take a world view as you develop your knowledge and understanding of international business finance and economics. And enhance your comprehension of the broader context of how businesses operate in the international economy. You will take compulsory modules such as Economic Concepts, Financial Econometrics, and International Finance. As this programme has a particular focus on the international economy, you will also take modules specifically designed to give you specialist knowledge in this area. You will finish your course by writing a dissertation, which will be supervised by a member of the School of Economics.

Upon completing this MSc, you will be well equipped to pursue a variety of careers in the areas of finance, management or international business.
