Suitable for graduates of all degree subjects who have some quantitative experience, this interdisciplinary programme provides comprehensive training across business-relevant disciplines.
With a strong focus on real-world applications, you will gain the insight and skills to address the strategic challenges facing modern businesses and organisations operating in competitive national and global markets.
In your second term, choose from two specialised pathways – Business and Strategy or International Economics and Finance – or take a flexible approach and choose your own units from both. This enables you to tailor your study to your specific academic interests and future career plans.
Bristol is in the top 5 UK universities for research (REF 2021) and our MSc Economics, Finance and Management incorporates the latest economics research – research that has a direct impact on policy and practice.
You will be joining an academic community that is international, forward-thinking, collaborative, and committed to helping all our students reach their full potential. We are home to the Economics Network, which improves the teaching and learning of economics in universities throughout the UK and Europe. We are also home to the Economics Observatory, which helps the public understand the most pressing economic issues we face today.
