MSc in Finance & Economics
Our MSc in Finance & Economics, previously called MSc in Economics & Finance, is taught by academics in both WBS, home of the Warwick Finance Research Institute (WFRI), and the University of Warwick's Department of Economics.
It will be ideal for you if you already have a strong economics background, are highly numerate, and now want to learn to apply your knowledge specifically to finance to open up your career options.
Our graduates are in high demand; career paths include jobs in the City or in the capital markets of their own countries, in areas such as pensions, life assurance, unit and investment trusts, corporate finance, and central banks.
Our study programme teaches you to apply the most advanced tools in finance and become confident in undertaking research in finance on your own. Practice is embedded in our study programme; we are one of only six UK business schools to be awarded CFA Program Partner status by CFA Institute.
We may also be able to offer WBS Scholarships to help towards fees.
