Programme overview

BSc Economics and Finance combines the broad sweep and critical thinking of Economics with a focus on the markets and investing of Finance. The programme is flexible after the first year of your studies, allowing you to choose modules based on your strengths and interests as they evolve. You’ll benefit from our specialist careers coaching throughout your degree which is designed to prepare you for the career you want.

You will learn from leading academic researchers and expert practitioners in Economics and Finance, and you will begin by learning the foundations of Finance theory and methodology, and the fundamentals of Economics.
 

Your first year includes the modules Accounting and Finance, Quantitative Methods for Economics, and Principles of Economics A. These will introduce you to the key principles of both fields and are designed to give you solid foundations for the remainder of your degree.

In your second year, you will learn about Asset Pricing, Financial Accounting and Econometrics, amongst other topics.

In your final year, you have more flexibility in your module options and can choose options from:

• Game Theory

  Alongside these academic modules and throughout all three years of your study, you will have modules on careers and employability led by our Career Coaches. These are designed to prepare you for interviews and internships and show you what careers are available to you.

  Throughout your studies, you will be led by academics at the frontier of financial research. Our researchers work on major European projects, including investigating how to apply artificial intelligence to banking, and on the art, precision and effectiveness of factor investing and hedge fund strategies. We have developed strong links with the Bank of England, top asset management companies, financial regulators and economists across the world.
