MSC ECONOMICS OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCE AND TRADE

Our MSc Economics of International Finance and Trade is part of our Applied Training Programme, which is designed to provide key skills in economics. It’s ideal if you’re a graduate without an economics background, yet wish to develop the analytical skills of an economist. It’s also suitable if you’re an economics graduate and wish to develop specialist expertise in this area without committing to full research training.

Throughout the course, you will develop a range of transferable skills, including data analysis (especially financial data), as well as investigating the motivation, financial practices, and the consequences of international trade.

You will take compulsory modules in Economic Concepts, Financial Econometrics, International Trade, and International Finance. As this program has a particular focus on the international economy, there are modules specifically designed to give you expert knowledge in this area. These include International Trade, which will introduce models of international trade explaining patterns in global flows of goods, and International Finance, which examines finance from both an investor’s and corporate perspective.

Towards the end of your 12 months with us, you will write a dissertation on an area of the discipline that supports your own interests and future goals. Throughout the dissertation process, you will have support and supervision from a member of the School of Economics.
