For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use these tests to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level programmes. The University is also able to accept an IELTS test (Academic module) from any of the 1000 IELTS test centres from around the world and we do not require a specific UKVI IELTS test for degree level programmes. We therefore still accept any of the English tests listed for admission to this programme.
This programme focuses on key macroeconomic and microeconomic forces which shape and influence financial markets. These elements are fundamental for financial decision making and draw on the most recent developments in these areas. It is also designed to provide a thorough understanding of the functioning of financial markets and monetary policy.
Financial Economics will provide you with rigorous training in macroeconomics, microeconomics and quantitative methods, and develop your understanding of financial theory and empirical applications.
You will learn how macroeconomic factors, such as monetary and fiscal policy, growth and risk, interact and influence financial markets and the pricing of financial assets, such as stocks and bonds.

You will take four core and two optional courses and complete a substantial independent piece of work, normally in the form of a dissertation on a topic related to your research interests in financial economics.
Teaching will be blended; live classes delivered remotely (eg Zoom or Microsoft Teams), recorded lectures and face-to-face teaching. You will meet faculty, and with each other, both through our virtual learning environment and through face-to-face interactions. You will study on and off campus, as you do normally. The aim is to deliver as much synchronous face-to face teaching as we can, as well as for instance, classes in laboratories, seminars and guest lectures. At all times, we will put your health and safety first: this means closely following and reacting to national guidelines.
