The Economics & Finance MSc from King's Business School provides rigorous coverage of both the theory and practice of economics and finance, driven by research, theory development, practical application and critical analysis. Our course is designed to equip you with the economic and financial knowledge and skills you need to build a strong career in the business and finance sectors. You'll learn about micro and macroeconomics, financial markets & services and the relationship between finance and econometrics. But you won't just learn the key quantitative skills you need for success. Our courses are underpinned by the underlying philosophies and methodologies of a social science approach to economics and finance. Numbers are important, but understanding how those numbers affect the wider world of finance and business is essential in the modern world.
