Why choose this course
The global world of business is significantly influenced and affected by international developments in the economic and financial markets.
Our MSc in International Economics, Finance and Development is based in one of the top economics schools in the UK. The course will provide you with an advanced understanding of core economics principles, looking closely at international trade, finance and the market frictions affecting developing economies.
We are ranked in the top 10 for business and economics in the United Kingdom by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020.
What you will study
In addition to providing a thorough understanding of microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics, our MSc International Economics, Finance and Development course focuses on two specific areas.
The first area develops expertise in the fields of international trade and international finance, with particular emphasis on the role these have in economic development. The second focuses on financial frictions faced by developing and emerging economies.
You will also cover stabilisation policy, adjustment and economic liberalisation, and study the principal sources of external finance for developing countries. You will find this course particularly relevant if you want to work in research and/or policy-making in international organisations and think-tanks focused on development issues.
