Financial Economics, BSc (Hons)

This BSc in Financial Economics integrates core economic principles with dynamic theories of financial markets, equipping you with skills to navigate complex economic landscapes. It begins alongside our standard Economics programme, ideal for those with a keen interest in scientific and technical disciplines. Economists analyse how societies optimise limited resources to guide governments, individuals, and businesses in enhancing decisions and outcomes, traditionally focusing on areas like investment, production, inflation, interest rates, and prices. Increasingly, they address contemporary issues such as climate change, inequality, and healthcare improvements. You'll gain specialised techniques in financial economics for research and forecasting, while the course explores macroeconomic challenges at national, regional, and global levels, alongside microeconomic behaviours. This degree provides a strong foundation for careers in economics and diverse high-earning fields, with an accelerated three-and-a-half-year option available for students from the Rest of the UK and internationally.
