Overview
This degree brings economic theory together with the financial systems that shape banking and investment. Students examine how markets allocate resources, how government policy responds to inflation and unemployment, and how the wider international economy shapes business decisions. Teaching takes place from a London base in the City, where learning is linked to live projects and practitioners in the financial sector.
Quantitative methods sit at the centre of the course. Learners apply econometric techniques and economic modelling to complex financial data, and they test their judgement through case studies and simulations. Modules on international business practice and law add the regulatory and commercial context that employers expect from graduates entering finance.
Typical roles lie in investment houses, corporate finance teams, financial management and economic policy units. An optional sandwich placement year offers workplace experience before the final stage of study, strengthening applications for graduate roles in these sectors.
