Postgraduate Economics
MSc International Money & Banking
The MSc in International Money & Banking is a one- year, full-time Masters programme. The programme is structured to provide the knowledge and specific research skills in money, banking and elements of the theory of finance.
The Masters will provide you with insights into the causes and effects of the ongoing financial crisis. You will analyse the underlying causes of the crisis (with a focus on issues relating to moral hazard and agency) and how the crisis has affected financial markets and the ‘real’ economy. The programme will also consider how governments and regulatory authorities have responded to the crisis.
The programme has a strong analytical specialist core including new units in the economics of financial institutions and financial economics, supported by optional units in the economics of bond markets and international monetary policy and institutions. This specialist knowledge is further supported by the study of econometrics and appropriate topics from economic theory that provide general analytical theoretical insights that are used in the more specialist units. The structure is academically rigorous, with emphasis on enhancing your problem solving ability and understanding.
