Description
The Financial Economics BA deals with the fascinating world of pricing, interest rates and shares and how rational (or even irrational!) decisions affect them. You will explore the global role of these financial systems in modern economics and learn to analyse the impact of economic events on financial markets.
This course introduces techniques of financial economics such as derivatives pricing, risk management methods and portfolio management. You will also become a proficient user of financial software and complex data sources which will enable you to better understand the impact and reach of economic decisions.
The first year of this degree is common to the following BA degrees:
Banking and Finance BA

This means that you will have the option to switch to one of the BA degrees in this list during your first year.
