Financial Economics

Financial Economics is the study of the functioning of capital markets and supply, demand and value estimates of financial assets.

Compared to other types of economic studies, the Master of Science in Financial Economics particularly focuses on how actors adapt to the market over time or under uncertain conditions. During the master's programme the students will be provided with extensive knowledge of these issues.

Financial economics is also empirically oriented, and the master's programme provides the students with important skills in quantitative (econometrics) methods used in empirical analyses of the financial market.

The programme qualifies students for doing financial analysis of general economic trends and for larger production businesses. A master's degree in Financial Economics provides the students with analytical skills which will be very useful in a variety of jobs.
