Our Master of Finance and Business Economics is suited to business or economics graduates seeking in-depth advancement in their area. It also meets the needs of graduates with related degrees looking to comprehensively adapt to the fields of economics and finance.

What will you do?

While the degree includes study in both areas, students must specialise in one. Depending on your goals and interests you will:

  • study wealth management and financial modelling in depth
  • learn analytical tools for financial decision-making
  • analyse theoretical and applied aspects of modern economics and econometrics
  • discover advanced techniques for analysing and managing data
  • explore matters relating to the growth and stability of the whole economic system.

In our finance specialisation you’ll gain necessary educational grounding for further professional studies towards the  qualification.

Where could it take you?

You might be a high-stakes stockbroker, a banker, a data analyst in a government agency or a health economist with a pharmaceutical group. You could be a demand planner in a big wine company. Perhaps you’ll help people secure their dream homes or retirement goals as a financial planner.
