About Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Financial Economics (L118)

Financial economics is all about managing financial assets such as trade and share prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Students will not only be introduced to financial economics, but also gain a solid foundation in general economic concepts, principles, analysis, techniques and knowledge.

Learning how to predict and advise on the impact of economic, social and public policy issues on monetary activities, students will develop their analytical and decision-making abilities, expanding their skills in data gathering, handling and interpretation, quantitative analysis and forecasting.

In oWestminster's state-of-the-art Bloomberg virtual trading room, students will use industry-standard software, including Bloomberg, SAGE, FAME, Excel and other statistical packages, to analyse data, build models and produce forecasts. Students will also develop key soft skills such as communicating complex economic ideas to a non-expert, presentation skills and teamwork.

Students can also gain valuable professional experience by taking a paid placement year and begin to build the networks that will help their career take off. Previous economics students have been employed by Goldman Sachs, Boxington Corporate Finance and with the Government Economic Service, to name just a few.

This degree aims to provide students with a solid understanding of underlying economic theories, principles and their financial applications in a variety of contexts, such as financial markets, the banking system, or global financial strategy. Students will learn to interpret financial data and carry out statistical and financial analysis to plan and manage risk, engaging with specialist topics including principles of financial intermediation, bank regulation and supervision as well as applied portfolio management.
