专业介绍

Program Description

For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Master of Economics - Financial Economics

MEcon Financial Economics is built on the core principles of economics, which are applied to students’ study of financial institutions (such as banks), financial markets (such as the stock exchange), and financial instruments. They receive a thorough training in economics and mathematics up to post-graduate level, as well as training in quantitative research methods. Students study the mathematical and statistical analysis of economic problems, and how the financial system functions, choosing from a range of topics on financial economics including:

• Fundamentals of accounting
• Business strategy and competition
• Capital markets
• Financial innovations and new forms of transaction media
• Bonds and contracts

The emphasis of the MEcon Financial Economics is on the ways that economic reasoning can inform and illuminate the financial decision-making of investors and the financial choices made by firms. The Department is top 5 in the UK for research, with over 90% rated as “world-leading” or “internationally excellent”. Much of this world-class research is related to policy, and it has particular strengths in the areas of game theory and strategic interactions, theoretical and applied econometrics and labor economics. The quality of its work is reflected in its stream of publications in high-profile academic journals, including American Economic Review, Econometrica, and Review of Economic Studies.
