If your students didn’t know well about MSc Financial Economics Program, please advise below information as reference.  The MSc’s in Economics and Financial Economics are very similar programmes. Both degrees also have strong similarities in that they include Core Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics. They also share other modules. For example, theory of Finance is an optional module on MSc Economics but core on MSc Financial Economics. Both degrees are designed to allow students to enter careers requiring advanced knowledge of economic topics or to continue to do a PhD degree. The MSc Financial Economics, however, has several advantages over MSc Economics –it has a wider selection of options available allowing you to more fully tailor your degree. Further the MSc Financial Economics has historically attracted a good cohort allowing students to interact and work with a range of fellow students from around the world.
