Course Details - Modules

Students on both pathways are given rigorous grounding in both microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and econometric theory during the first two years of study. Students following the generalist pathway have an opportunity in the first year to take business-related modules offered by the School, whilst those on the finance pathway take introductory modules in accounting and finance. In the second year, finance students continue their specialist studies with modules in financial management and securities markets, whilst students on the generalist pathway can select modules from a range of economics areas. In the final year, students are able to select from a greater range of optional modules so that they can specialise in the areas of economics and finance that are of the greatest interest to them and their future aspirations.
