Master the knowledge that shapes global economies and financial markets.

Our MSc Economics and Finance is designed to equip you with specialist knowledge in economics and finance.

Graduate with the skills and confidence to thrive as a professional economist. Whether you pursue an academic career or apply your skills in government, industry, or commerce, you’ll be ready to make an impact wherever economics meets the real world.

Learn from our financial expert lecturers at Cardiff School of Management, who are not only academic thinkers and active researchers, but professionals sharing their own industry experience. Plus, take advantage of full access to the Financial Times online, one of the world’s most trusted financial resources, to help you understand the wider economic environment.

You will be taught by academically qualified and enthusiastic staff with research and consultancy experience and links to industry. Your high quality learning experience comprises lectures and discussions supported by group work, presentations, statistical computer labs and case studies. All modules are also supported by Moodle, the virtual learning environment.

There is a common shared spine within these programmes which overlaps with existing Masters level programmes within Cardiff School of Management. Consequently students will, for some modules, be taught with students on the MBA and MSc Financial Management programmes. The teaching team consider this a strength of the portfolio.
