dbpprop:abstract
  • A master’s degree in Financial Economics provides an understanding of theoretical finance and the underlying economic framework. The degree is postgraduate, and is typically one year in duration, and includes a thesis. Programs are often a joint offering by the business school and the economics department. The nature of the degree differs by university: in many cases it is largely theoretical, and prepares graduates for research positions, for doctoral study in economics, or for roles in applied economics; some degrees are positioned as professional degrees, preparing graduates for careers in banking and finance, and are comparable to the Master of Science in Finance, though with an increased weighting towards theory; others are substantially quantitative, and are largely akin to a Master of Quantitative Finance. Alternate degree titles include "Master of Finance and Economics" and "Master of Economics with a specialization in Finance / Financial Economics"; these degrees are generally theory oriented, as are "Master of Finance" (as opposed to "Master of Science in Finance") degrees.
