Our Financial Economics MSc provides you with the core skills and techniques needed to understand the economics of financial markets. It includes an introduction to the fundamentals of financial economics, which means that this MSc is suitable for those who have not specialised in this area of economics before.
Our teaching is informed by the research of the Centre for Finance, Credit and Macroeconomics. This work is incorporated into the modules we offer and you will learn from experts in their field.
You will take modules in core areas such as consumer and firm behaviour, and the macroeconomic context for policymaking. You will also take a hands-on data analysis module with applications relevant to financial economics.
Options are also available in financial and macro-econometrics and in the general equilibrium (DSGE) modelling techniques used widely by central banks and regulators. These modules offer advanced understanding of institutions, policymaking bodies and techniques used to evaluate policies.
You will be well-prepared for a rewarding career in the financial sector with potential roles including economist, supervisor, or regulator. Our graduates have secured jobs at the Bank of England, the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, or within the private sector at banks, credit rating agencies, pension companies, and insurers. Our course has been designed to prepare you to work in institutions around the world.
With an advanced economics degree from the University of Nottingham, you will graduate with all the knowledge, practical skills and confidence you need to stand out to employers, ready for a career in the financial sector.
