Admissions

To gain a place on the MSc Finance and Economics programme you must have top ranking academic results. We are looking for a first class or high upper second class honours degree (overall average 65%+), or the overseas equivalent. We take into account your grade average, position in class, references and the standing of the institution where you are studying or have already attained your qualification when we assess your academic record. We particularly welcome applications from excellent candidates studying at institutions of high ranking and repute.

You need to have studied or be studying a degree in economics, finance or maths. This programme teaches a very high level of economics and advanced econometrics. It is therefore essential that you have taken or are studying a significant number of economics courses and importantly a high level of econometrics, and macroeconomics or microeconomics in the FINAL year of your degree and have excellent results in these subjects. If your degree transcript does not include a list of your final year courses please make sure you provide this information in addition to submitting your transcript, as we are unable to make a decision without this information.
